Longevity




The Bible states that a man's lifetime is 120 years. So, Sandi, you're just a pup. Using toxic materials will generally shorten your potential. Seriously, I feel that it is my obligation to create a painting which will survive for generations. This is, I believe, a strong selling point of why commission a portrait over a photo (definitely not the most important, but strong, nonetheless). I don't want to be like the used car salesman who keeps his fingers crossed that the car he just sold can make it out of the lot in one piece. The people in the Goodwill bins deserve the most for their money.
