Seriously...can't believe I pulled this off. I have this great client that really challenges me in my work. I've painted Tupac, Jimmy and Marilyn for her so far...as well as a great painting of the Golden Gate Bridge (Check gallery below; I will post them). I love hearing from her because I know she is going to request something that makes me say something like, "oh shit" at first...(she only now knows that this is what I REALLY say instead of my reply which via text is "Awesome, so excited to do this for you".) This reality conveys the fact that...I'm never really sure I can do it. I KNOW I'll try my best even if it takes an extra 10 hours more than I bid the job for. 
Mohammad Ali, holy shit...really. I did it. 
I often stand back from a painting and just shake my head. I have no idea where it comes from some days; but how lucky am I have to this gift inside of me that still surprises even me. 


Thank you Vanessa, your energy, enthusiasm, excitement and love of art is contagious and I feel so lucky to have you as a muse!
