Artwork Description:

My wife wanted me to paint her on her 50th birthday. I took Lady Agnew out of Sargent's portrait, leaving only the chair in the background painting on the wall; the comparison is intentional. The room is invented. The bookend is the one left after my freshman-year Nazi roomate accidentally broke the companion piece. The champagne bottle is the one we drank from after a rededication of the studio building. The table is modeled after the one in the Sargent painting. The wing-chair is one handed down in our family, but changed drastially in color. Some of the elements in the painting are inventions of the artist's imagination. Sorry you can't have it. But you might enjoy viewing it.
