Awe inspiring AND inspirational!
Whew! You MADE IT! Bat Mitzvah celebration and all. Thank you for posting this, Chris. I did so want to see it. The painting of your beautiful girl IS so very powerful. I continue to stand in awe of your work. We do need to celebrate over coffee, however.

Thank you all so much for your comments, they are much appreciated.
Sharon, I paint too slowly to have her sit, although she is happy to model for reasonable lengths of time, and always for photographs...and to wander into the studio when I need to fine -tune color or planes.
Marvin, I do think there is something special about painting a subject with whom there is a close personal connection. Also, painting the same subject many times has a special aspect as well. Thanks for the good wishes.
Here''s a detail of the hands.

Beautiful, Chris. I knew instantly, though I have never met you, that she was your daughter!! Great presence and beautifully painted.
Congratulations to you and to your daughter's coming of age!!

It amazes me how distinctive (and I suppose, instinctive) the style of certain artists can be. If I was shown this closeup of the hands I would immediately know it was "a Saper".
