A portrait commission I recently finished for some friends in Florida. Carey is an exceptionally gifted musician. Her vocal ability ranges from folk to opera, and she is has an amazing command of both styles. I was privileged enough to hear a couple songs from Carey when I was in Florida getting reference material for this painting. Now if only UPS can actually deliver the piece that would be nice. As of now its lost in the abyss of lost packages somewhere between Utah and Florida.

Justin, I'm curious...do you have a favorite part of this image? Is there an area you feel exceeded your expectations? TIA, Candace
Candace, that's a good question. compositionally I dont have favorite part. I think it's pretty straight forward from a design perspective. I do really like how I laid the paint down though. Particularly the feet and the face. Sometimes it just works right, and seems to flow better than expected. The feet. I say the feet.
JuStin you never cease to AMAZE me!! This piece is magnificent!!
Tell me that package has been located, it makes me sick thinking about it!
I love your work, Justin, it warms my soul, has since I first saw it.

I did not know. I just didnt. so I am glad I found out before you getting married. please come visit. you both are more than welcome to stay at my place.
Beautiful portrait, Justin.
I had a similar experience last year with a portrait commission. It finally showed up and just in time for the client to depart with it to India. From now on, I use FedEx.
Hope it turns up.
Keep sharing your work.
