I think I’d be traumatized living in Eikudoni’s village! But so intriguing. Thanks for the Art introduction.

You're so welcome! It is one of the weirdest things I've come across. On his website there is text that goes along with each portrait. Thanks for sharing your reaction!

I liked #3 as well....a little preferred the simplicity of #2

Thank you dear Daya! This is so helpful as I was close to implementing #1 although I also liked #3. I don't paint by committee, but hearing opinions of others strikes a chord in me that connects with a good direction to go with.

I like the first but think you look most beautiful in the second. Your artist makes beautiful paintings!

Thanks Rebecca! Luckily I don't need to choose one - I can use all of them for different purposes. What do you mean, "Your artist makes beautiful paintings!" I think you're saying that my photographer makes beautiful paintings -he's mostly a painter! Thanks for your comment!!

I really like the first of your three professional photos! Showing you with a paintbrush is most appropriate, and I like your expression in that photo the best.

I love that one too! Luckily I don't have to choose - I can use all three for different purposes. Thanks for weighing in!

Thanks Mark! I'm reading a book by Cal Newport called "Deep Work" and it's helping me overcome my multitasking addiction and actually be more productive.
