In this Portrait Painting "Carolyn
            with Possum Hat
            and Shepherd's Coat,"
            an original oil on panel, I wanted to make portraits of both
            my wife Carolyn and myself, since we had just recently married.
            I painted Carolyn second in order to be more practiced prior
            to starting the artwork, since Carolyn wanted her portrait to
            be an accurate record of her at the time. The use of costume
            aided in composition and subject matter. It's also worth mentioning
            that painting the portrait of one's wife should not be taken
            lightly at any point in time. I am no longer Married to Carolyn
            and do wish her and hers the very best out of respect for the
            good times that we shared during the time that we were married.
