My childhood friend Emile Klein and I reconnected recently and he told me about a portrait project he was doing called “You’re U.S.” After exchanging a few emails and picking a date, Emile came to stay at the Wesley Manor for the month of November. During that time he painted this portrait of us. We did five separate two-hour sessions individually in our basement. The whole painting took about 60 hours total and now hangs in our living room.
