Rob, you've created a sensitive, wonderful painting. Posthumous paintings are always tough to do and you should be very proud of this one.
I've also painted a murdered teenager, many years ago. I remember that it occured to me at the time that I felt as if I were performing CPR, but clumsily and unsuccessfully.
Your painting will be treasured for years.

Sharon and Linda - I appreciate both of your wonderful comments.
You have all made me feel very welcome, and I thank you. You've also given me the impetus to continue in the field of portraiture with more confidence. I hope to post work of like quality in the near future.

Rob,
Very touching and beautiful. I'm sure it'll bring tears every time they see it.

Thanks, Jimmie - it looks like the unveiling will be this weekend. No doubt there will be a lot of emotion in the room.
Since this is my first commission - and a fairly special assingment, at that - I will report back on how it all went. I just hope that I can hold it together...
