This portrait was one of my earliest commissions. I'm sharing it because it has been undoubtedly my most successful and well loved portrait and remains so today. Friends and family who are so supportive of everything I do will consistently tack on, "...but I still like the boy with the pony best." Whenever they are evaluating my latest portrait.

I can't help but smile because I love it too, but since I drew this portrait back in 1998 I would hope some day with enough growth in my skills and more importantly the right subject, that I might transcend this portrait and give my family a new favorite?
