Oh my, what can I say? It has been so long since I have visited my blog that I hardly remember how to use it. Suddenly it called me back! This painting is for a commission for our dear friends from Israel, Boaz and Ilana. We don't get to see them nearly often enough. Almost a year ago we were in Thailand with Boaz. We were expecting Ilana would to join us in a few days. I was chatting with Boaz and he was telling me how much he was missed her and how he thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I said, " I hope you tell her that." and he told me that he does all the time! What? They've been married at least 50 years. I was so touched by that. He has been after me to do a portrait of her for quite a while, so I finally did. It will be in the Member's Show at the Carnegie Art Center for a while and then we'll ship it off to them.
PS. Ilana is an inspiration to me. Her slogan to live by is, "Don't postpone life."
That is beautiful. Boaz and Ilana will love it! Congratulations!
