Chris says: I remember so clearly when I sat for this portrait in 1977. I had never had that experience before, at least not since childhood. I loved watching Dad work. He always had classical music playing. Sometimes we talked, and sometimes not. The way the painting came together was so interesting to me. For example, I remember when he began working on my hair, I could see him using some blue colors. I even commented that it seemed an odd color choice for hair. He smiled and said “Trust me.” Of course he knew what he was doing.
