The boots are almost completed. The edges are soft an detail is limited. At this point they dominate the painting, but I wanted to establish the darkest darks in the painting; from there I can work the remaining painting. Another question kept haunting me, "How do I incorporate Scott's family?" It is subtle - can you find it?
An artist's confession: Emotions are flowing to the surface while I work and it takes time for me to understand why. Having met Scott at age 13, I am touched as I reflect on how we have known each other over these many years.
Painting a commission is a special experience - not only am I under the pressure of satisfying what a client has in their mind's eye, I am also experiencing the joy of providing a memory for them and something they can treasure for a life time.
