Such a joy to paint them and thank you #davidmbrooks and dear #leonardgrecoart for being part of my journey and for sharing my work. I am humbled. #Repost @leonardgrecoart with @get_repost ・・・ Amazing studio visit ( and afternoon) with the immensely talented and intimidatingly prolific Jodi Bonassi @jodi_bonassi . At last we were able to pick up our portrait that she painted of us ( and the pups ) . Able as well to secure the next painting for our collection “Bird on the Metro” ( second image ) . As can be seen it is an astonishingly tender painting and will be a fitting memento of our time in Los Angeles , a fond and treasured souvenir . In an age of much cynicism and slapdash ironic painting , Jodi’s refined , empathetic and accomplished work is a welcome relief and an honor to collect . #studiovisit #artcollector #familyportrait #oilpainting #fineartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TnCablJTh/?igshid=1koa1g3wptw48
