My concept for this portrait was to capture something of the kindness and gentleness in the person and the face of my brother-in-law, Bill. When I presented the painting to him, I extolled the sweetness in the expression looking back at us, asking Bill if he could possibly say, "no" to a face like that. Bill studied his painted face for a moment, furrowed his brow, and then declared, "You're right! If that guy asked me for a loan, I'd have to give him money!"
