About This Painting
This is a woman I have known for the better part of a decade. She’s got a lively sense of humor, quick wit, a positive outlook on life and an artful spirit. She’s very spiritual in nature and is not afraid to say what’s on her mind. Her sensitivity to others goes beyond normal bounds.
I asked her to pose for a painting, long ago sold in a gallery, that I titled Security.
When establishing the pose for Security I asked her to turn her head to the side and look out toward the window. It was then, for the first time that I saw the incredible beauty of her profile: if there is perfection in a woman’s profile, I was seeing it at that instant.
I knew then that one day I would like to do a painting of just that: her “Profile of Beauty.”
Today, March 28, 2006 — the day I painted this — is her 30th birthday.
She just gets better with age.
I’ll save her gorgeous eyes for another painting, another day.
