Here is a "photo essay" from our portrait sitting with Wendell Decker. I am not gonna go through all of the details of the process, which was fairly involved, for the photos should be fairly self-explanatory. Of course, Wendell made it all look effortless. By the way, here is a pretty good article about Wendell in the local paper.

Varnishing the photos.
The one of a kind finished product.
