Enjoying nostalgia

Steven is on vacation, and we've been taking drives and
talking a lot about our wonderful life.  One great 
art experience from quite awhile ago was meeting
Hannah Creaser in the parking lot at the Superstore in 
Fredericton, New Brunswick, and asking her if
she'd mind posing for me.

At the time I was working on a series about young 
people on the edge of growing up, and Hannah
struck me as a perfect model.  She agreed,
I took some photos, did a large portrait of 
Hannah, which showed in the window of a 
gallery on Avenue Road in Toronto, and in
New York City. Hannah's father, saw the painting
in the window in Toronto, came to the exhibition,
and bought the painting.

And Steven and I delivered it to her father Eben
in Fredericton, which is where this sweet photo
happened. Hannah has grown up into a wonderful
young woman, and is having a great life. 
Thank you Hannah for helping me paint one of
my favourite paintings.

Have a loving your life day!
