Barter

I painted this portrait of my plumber, Christian, about five years ago. I was using oils again after many years because I had been offered a portrait commission, so I needed to bring myself up to speed and asked friends to pose for me.

Besides being a most reliable plumber, Christian is also an excellent potter and a musician. He has agreed to play at our opening on June 4th in exchange for the portrait.
