I just purchased this painting. I had to as it looks exactly like my oldest daughter Claire. It's not just the facial resemblance, it's more the whole presence of how she is sitting, reading, absorbed. I sent an email earlier to you asking where I could purchase it. I have a couple of pictures of Claire if you're interested in seeing 'what I see'. I know you're very busy and have no expectations. I just thought you'd appreciate knowing how much this painting means to me. Without ever seeing her you captured my 23 year old (in Nov '11) daughter to perfection. I assume you know the person in this painting as you've done a couple others using the same model.
I came from China and live in San Francisco bay area now.
I got my BFA from China, MFA from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and now I am on the graduate-school faculty at the school.
Please enjoy my blog, and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about my painting. I really hope my work can bring you a piece of happiness today.
