[Jennifer Geary]

Wow! I really like that quote, Jim! I have been searching for words to describe how I want my art to affect people and I believe you have shown them to me. Thank you so much for posting that! Below I attached the other work I did of my godbrother, Damien, who is also autistic. This is my 3rd painting of him, for I find him a wonderful subject. Of course, it isn't as detailed as about 99% of the artists that post here, but it works for me. Sure, the light may not be exactly right, and the hand isn't complete, but it speaks to me. Maybe it will do the same for you.

The portrait of Kennedy is fabulous! I much prefer this approach as well! Andrea, thanks for showing me that! Maybe detail isn't what I should strive for, but feeling....

Thank you for taking the time to voice your words!
