Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Theresa.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Patricia. It was mostly the hair that was difficult. To paint blond hair going gray.

Thank you. I understand not having words. I hardly ever do for others' artworks. It's hard for me to say more than you have said: "I can't begin to tell you how much I like this..."

Thank you, miss Jasmin.

So you caught the lighting effect. Two main light sources.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Phoenix.

Thank you very much.

Andrey, thank you very much.

Thank you, Patricia, very much. Funny, but not really funny: the model is my wife. She was very ill with a viral infection. I'd just brought her back from the VA emergency room where they kept her for three hours with two saline IVs and nausea medication along with anti-biotics. She had to lye on our love seat for the rest of the day and night. I painted her in and just kept adding the other elements to come up with this. I see it as she's dreaming of me (although the man is not a self portrait) and the man is dreaming of her. Yes, you're right in a way: she was as comfortable as it was possible to be.

Thank you, Megan, very much.
