I just finished another commissioned portrait. This is rendered in oil pastel on toned paper. It is a portrait of a retiring Greek Orthodox priest from a nearby town. The clients will be picking it up tomorrow, always the nervous part...
They loved it and they had the unveiling yesterday at their church. The priest had come back for it. It was a lovely affair, maybe 400 people there...and all loved the portrait and they also gave me flowers. I thought it was so nice to invite the artists. I also handed out my card to several people who were interested.
I swear I left a comment on this. Anyway, it's very authentic. Did they like it?

ReplyDeletePat, lovely portrait. I had no doubts that the client would love it! Good marketing too! I bet it will bring more portrait commissions.
