This has been posted before I believe, but I'm getting together some peeps work for possible portrait commissions and felt like posting it again. I was terrified, it was my first real commission, post cushy corporate gig and thank goodness the parents really liked it.
"Pugfest" today and a gourmet meal! Our hostess shopped for din-din at the new super classy ra-ta, upscale grocery/restaurants/wine uber-store in Manhattan - Eataly. We're talkin' truffle risotto here folks. She is also the Pug mom of Raz and Blu's sister/half-sister respectively as well as Samson, the king muckedy muck - he is after all the largest and oldest so he is due his props. They'll run themselves ragged while we stuff ourselves silly and sip some tasty wine chosen especially for the truffles.
Enjoy the day and thank you for visiting.
Your talent never ceases to amaze me! This portrait is soooo wonderful! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteTruffle risotto? Life is good in Manhattan!! Enjoy!!
I love that this is not a "traditional" portrait, with careful posing, cutesy outfits, studied background...REAL. That's what this feels like.
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING! GORGEOUS!! EVERY OTHER BEAUTIFUL ADJECTIVE OUT THERE!
ReplyDeleteok, i'm done shouting now. Just wanted you to know how much i love, love, love this.
if they were my kids i would be enormously pleased:)
a really beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteI think it is obvious why the parents would love this, you captured priceless expressions! I can't believe you got to try products from Eataly! Did you go there too? I have watched a segment on tv, and read about it in the NY Times, I drool every time I see something about the place, it looks incredible .........Lucky you!!!
ReplyDeleteI GUESS they liked it! I would love to have a painting of this nature and caliber done of my boys! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI was remembering you. I remembered your art work, so I came to say hi. Do you remember me?
ReplyDeleteI looked at this portrait and could not believe you painted it. It is awsome.
I love coming over here to see what you are doing... and to say hi to your doggies

I remember seeing this before and I am no less amazed today than I was then. Of course the parents loved this. How could they not.

Fabulous Suzanne! Just precious children beautifully portrayed! Jeanne
ReplyDeleteThese kids look so vivid and bright! I'll be studying this one, thanks for the inspiration. Your work is so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a way with words as well as with pigments! Great!
ReplyDeleteOh, Suz...this is fantastic! Love the distracted big sister and that oh so serious baby. He looks like a very wise old soul. Opened up to the larger view and his eyes just melted me. Would love to see this up close. At that size I know it's a stunner. The parents must be so thrilled!
ReplyDeleteWorthy of The American Society of Portrait Artists. Seriously.
