It took several sittings. I remember having to hold really still and it wasn't easy, but I felt really special. My mother commissioned it just after my parents were divorced during a time when we were financially struggling. To this day I wonder why my mother would have purchased something so extravagant, but I appreciate the idea that she must have thought it was important and she obviously valued art. I still have the portrait which amazes me since it could have easily disappeared when my mother died a few years later or any number of times as my life and circumstances changed. I also have a newspaper clipping of an article on Jeanne's shop in West Seattle with a photo of her drawing me. I am sitting in the background (being absolutely still!). Great memories. To this day I love it when someone draws me. I majored in art in college. No telling how much influence Jeanne has had in my life! Jeanne did my portrait when I was about 8 years old around 1965.

I have two pieces that she did around 1977, when a friend of mine was losing his son. My friend said that Jeanne was a positive influence at a time when there was so little light in their lives.
