I asked Mr. Beloved if he would sit for a photo shoot for me a couple of weeks ago. He is always very willing and I really appreciate that. Here is my first painting from those photos. It was a struggle, I don’t know why. He loves it. I like it better this morning, after it has sat on the easel overnight and ripened. LOL! Before we left Ohio, Ron had lost about 90 pounds. This is his first skinny portrait. His beard is trimmed according to the Publix requirements. He looks good, I think, although I do miss the great big bushy beard.
