Painted in 2002 at 15 by 18 inches in size, this is the first portrait that I painted as a commission. I've always taken it as a good omen that my first portrait should have turned out so beautifully (it's certainly easier with such a charming subject)! Now, if only that omen would prove to mean what I always suspected, that I could support myself through painting, then I'd be a happy camper indeed.
