Perhaps...

What makes a good portrait?  Is it all about what I want?  Or, is it all about what the client wants? In this case the client is my very particular designer daughter, who as a rule, differs in taste. Difficult to stay on track when you are trying to please both. It's best to stay as objective as possible, while at the same time holding on to the little piece of your heart that fell in love with the comp in the first place.  As I've said before many times, commissioned portrait art is not for the weak. Now add that to working for a family member!
