Sharing Her Experience

This is Neva, a very good friend of mine. For years, we've talked about her commissioning a portrait. A few weeks ago during our girl lunch, we decided the time is now.

I interviewed her after she took her portrait home. I asked Neva to share her experience with me, so I could share it with you.

I asked her to comment about the photo shoot: "It was fun. We took a lot of pictures. You are really good at finding the perfect pose for the portrait."

What was her reaction when she saw her portrait for the first time? "I screamed at first. Then I ran into my daughter's room. I showed my granddaughters and my son-in-law too. I was totally elated."

I asked her if I captured her likeness. "You caught my very essence, my curls and my girls. You got everything. It's just beautiful. It looks exactly like me."

When I asked her if she would recommend this experience to a friend, Neva replied, "Oh yes. Definitely. I've shown everyone at work. They are all amazed at your work."

Her closing comment, "This portrait will be the perfect heirloom for my children and grandchildren."

It's a privilege to draw portraits.
