Life has a beautiful way of surprising us, sprinkling moments of magic when we least expect them. In today’s ever-widening web of connections, it is remarkable how we can reconnect with friends after decades apart.
Meeting a dear friend again—albeit virtually—after nearly half a century was such a joy. The familiar dimple in her cheeks and the unmistakable twinkle in her eyes remained just as I remembered, unchanged in time and spirit, instantly lighting up my heart. That cherished familiarity inspired me to paint her portrait.
Portrait painting has always brought me deep satisfaction and delight. Capturing the likeness and emotion of a living, multi-dimensional person on a two-dimensional canvas is both a challenge and a thrill—made complete when I see my muse recognize herself in the work.
