This is such a charming and well-crafted painting, Tom - another beautiful example of the humanity you bring to your sitters and the control you have over your medium. I always look to your work to see how these outdoor portraits are supposed to be done. Tom almost makes it look easy, but it sure isn't.

(I wish I could say I could take some credit on this one, but Tom is just being kind. ) Closeups please!

Oh Tom,

This is truly lovely, and you nailed that elusive pink dress! I love how you composed that ivy transition to bridge the foreground wall with that lush green background setting. Brilliant! It's all so cohesively and beautifully designed; another winner!

A beautifully realized painting. You can feel the softness of the warm afternoon air. Another winner Tom!

Sharon and John--

Thanks so much. I've done several pieces for this family, and they're wonderful folks.
