I created the above painting for a friend of mine. It was a gift for his wife for her birthday of their incredibly beautiful kids... who I adore by the way.
I had to complete it in a rush and was not entirely confident in the way it turned out. Do you know when you get to that point where you have put so much work in, you are tired, and you still fear that something is missing? ...but if you keep working you may go too far and you won't be able to take it back. So I stood, staring, trying to make it all make sense for my creative brain. Finally, I stepped away and let it go. I figured it would look different in the morning and sure enough, it did. Then, at breakfast, when I gave it to him and I saw his smile, I knew that it came out just the way it should have.
