our house is a very very very fine house…

So after the show–I really want to paint this for the house. I’ve painted D and Maggie twice…but I’ve never painted the three of us. If I did more family portraits like this…how many of you would be into this? I know my friend Ana wants a portrait of her so the other night I…
