The Mrs. Norman Project

Hello, Art Lovers! Recently I received a painting commission from a lovely woman I met at Defined Fitness, a fellow cycling and Body Pump enthusiast who'd admired my art from afar (bless her heart!) and wanted me to execute a portrait of her mother. The only problem was--is--that the only photo the commissioner possesses of her mother (deceased) is about the size of the tip of my thumb. Out of this sense of impossibility, though, was the "Mrs. Norman Project" born. The commissioner (again, bless her heart) is an admirer of radical and wildly imaginative artists, such as Lucian Freud, and doesn't mind my reconstructing her mother from memory and scratch.

More on this later.
