Um, would you paint something just for me?
You betcha! I’d be happy to paint something for you! What did you have in mind?
How about a pomegranate?
How about 3 of them? Then you can decide which one you like best.
Would you ever be willing to paint a sequoia in the snow, say, 8×10″?
Would you be willing to buy it when it was finished? If yes, then yes.
What about doing an 18×24″ oil painting from your pencil drawing of “Redwood & Dogwood“?
I’d love to do that for you! What a great idea, you brilliant patron of the arts!
If you finish that 6×18″ painting of poppies, I’ll buy it.
Really? I knew that one was a great idea. (Thanks to my mailman for bringing me the photo!)
