Faces of Frisco

Sierra and I were walking through City Hall a few months ago when we were stopped by a local artist. He said he was painting portraits of Frisco residents, and he asked if he could photograph us as possible subjects. He phoned me a little while ago and said my portrait would be featured in the gallery, but that he wasn't using Sierra's portrait since he'd tried to capture her and couldn't. When we arrived at the Open House, all the friends and family of the painter knew about Sierra when they met her, saying the painter had said she was the prettiest little girl in Frisco and just couldn't do her justice. He did, however, give us one of his attempts. Here we are with our portraits--I'm quite certain mine doesn't look exactly like me either, but it was fun to be included in the exhibit hanging next to the former mayor. When we walked in, Madeline got really excited, pointing to the wall and shouting, "Mommy! Mommy!" The artist laughed and said that was the best compliment he could be paid. While we were standing nearby, I heard a group of friends trying to guess each subject's profession. They seemed to think I look like a CIA agent--guess I'll keep that in mind for future job possibilities.
