This is what the father, Lou Blazquez wrote to me about the portrait:
Kevin, my dream of having a Geary work is fulfilled. I don't quite know what to say, but I'll have to formulate something, for I will be putting the portrait in my next issue of my blog, along with your credit, web site, and also some of your biographical commentary. The portrait is gorgeous! Linda (my girlfriend) told me to tell you that it is amazing, and she is truly impressed with your talent. I don't know how to thank you. I don't have a lot of money, but I am so pleased. May I give you a $100 gratuity along with the final payment?
