We combined a portraitsbyShep unveiling with a great anniversary party Saturday night, and aren't we all glad we can finally tell Chip how much we like his painting. "Mona Lynne" was commissioned by Lynne as a present to Chip for their 30th anniversary. Many thanks to all our mutual friends for keeping the secret for so many months. Chip was truly surprised when he walked into the party and we surprised him again when the unveiled portrait was actually his present. I knew I got the portrait right when Lynne's beautiful granddaughter, Jemma, upon the unveiling immediately said, "Gigi, what are you doing?"
This may have been the best party yet. Many thanks to Lynne for so many things: the commission that started the whole ball rolling, the loan of the hat and veil, for posing so many hours, and for helping with the party. And many thanks to the greatest party giver of the all...Donna.
