Nik is about as glowing as he can get
I don’t know how long I can keep on being so pleased with results. Every time I do a painting, I think it’s the best one I’ve ever done–until I do the next one! I’m not trying to brag here, I think it’s more like having the thrill of the new that wears off quickly once we encounter a new “new”. But having that thrill at all is certainly a wonderful reward for hours of painstaking work! So I will put a nice frame on Nik now, and admire him until I’ve completed the fourth painting in this series. I have some photos to start thinking about, but I’m waiting to see if I can get one or two more from my client to clarify some details before committing to the design of the next portrait.
