I saw this first on Facebook and commented. I am seeing it again and I just love it. Will Bert actually sit for you for a time or is it from a photo? My significant other can only be captured when sleeping. Anyway, wonderful tradition to keep. You do it so beautifully!
Thank you so much for BOTH comments! Bert does actually sit for me…and now I feel guilty because I was teasing him about being a “bad model” yesterday. He has his computer in front of him so I only get his eyes from time to time when I specifically ask. Your significant other should know posing is part of the job description! Anyway, I probably would only work from a photo for a commission–I really prefer to work from life. I do have a stack of paintings of Bert by now…and even sold one–it was of him sleeping–and two people actually tried to buy it, so maybe that will inspire you to work with what you have, ha!
