Lavanna,

I think this is just amazing. What a wonderful portrait. I have sometimes drawn people in brief sketches while they were unaware — usually on the subway — but I have never even considered painting. And this portrait is so sensitively done. A true wow.

Hi, Lisa.

Yeah, you know, most of the time, the parents really do know their children, and desire the best for them. Let’s hope that this is the case with Kelsey, too!

Thanks,

Hi, Jana.

I never talk to my subjects when I am painting them – they rarely discover that they are being painted, unless they get up and move behind me to see what I’m painting.

If I am discovered, they always want to sit down and chat a bit. No one has ever been mad, and that surprised me. I think that they are amazed that someone would be painting what they see, since there is such an anime and self-expression movement with a large section of the coffee house culture.

Thanks for the kind words. I try!
