Today I finished the portrait of Melinda. I do a lot of portrait commissions. Many are from a photo the client gives me. Some are from the person posing for me. Melinda sat for me. It took about four sittings of a half-hour each. I just worked from emotion. Sometimes if I try too hard, it loses it’s magic and is boring. This one captured her personality.
