Alex, it's so great to wake up to something like this! What a fantastic portrait. I am convinced if I ran into your husband at the hardward store for example, I would immediately know him. Do you think a "hello, Steve" from a total stranger would throw him off? Not only is this such a warm and personal portrait, it's a portrait I bet many of us can relate to. You could be my neighbor! I am impressed by the undertaking this was. It is a rather large painting, loaded with interesting details. In spite of those details, your husband remains the focal point. Regardless of where I look in the painting, I end up back at Steve. I'm impressed. Such charm. You really have an incredible gift for introducing us to people through your paintings. Wow.
