My students ask, ‘How do you know what to do?’ I tell them, ‘Each image will tell you what it needs!’ This is a memorial portrait and I feel this image telling me exactly what it needs. You can call this God, the akashic record, intuition, whatever. But even songs have been written about it. Here eyes are looking off to my right but, no matter how I perfect the paint, she looks at me! I am honored, but even more, I am pleased to be doing this painting. I would love to finish it soon but I won’t rush it. Diana
