What mystery allows Presence
to shine through into a portrait?
How do we recognize the unique love-light that animates someone?
I devote my best visionary attention and artistic skill
to inviting that presence to come through–
into paint and/or fabrics, patterns and colors, light and dark.
But how it really happens, I can't explain.
Somehow, the finished portrait mirrors an essence of that particular subject.
People say, with a heart-smile, "It looks just like them."
