Husband

Michele continues to experiment with watercolors. She says that she has always had difficulty with realistic portraiture. In this moving tribute, Michele went beyond her comfort zone by painting her husband Richard. Michele painted him sleeping after another long day as he sat across the table from her one evening.

Richard works a 10-hour day six days a week to pay for Michele’s caregivers and handles all the laundry, finances, and the many other chores necessary to maintain their household.
