After two more days of blossom and greenery painting, I reflect on how the multiple aspects of this portrait have come together. On the Cancun morning of the photography portion of the project, taking images of the beautiful blossoms near the pool was my focus. Later that afternoon, I photographed Isabel and Brianna, and I remain so grateful for their willingness to participate, even after the monkeys intruded on our session. The pose was orchestrated by my dear wife, Karen. Her input into my paintings has been helpful over the past 50 years!
