Well, it is good to know you have had a creative outlet in the very least; I am curious to know and understand the process of having a portrait done. I know my own father has had one made, but I was not privy to how the work was completed.
I do hope whatever your distraction is, that it is not to stressful, and that when July does come its time around you find a moment to enjoy yourself throughly.
How does Friday night work? I do not want to impose, or seem over-eager, if Friday is too soon, I will gladly await a better time.
