Hi everyone! I really hope you enjoy this video. My online store is now back - with my range of scented candles and diffusers, as well as linen napkins, and loose-leaf tea. To celebrate I am giving you 15% off everything - no code needed - just add to basket and the discount will be automatically applied. You can check it out here: shop.nicolasfairford.com
I don't care if it's vain I prefer art and portrait then degrees etc or photos of achievements and the entire life story in someone apartment. My opinion?
Nathans place is very tastefully done, I love how each piece you can see is special and something he found over time, I also love how he "suggested" at a bar cart on the table with a tray and a few glasses and decanters, Ya, very nice, a person does not have to go overboard on a bar to make a point, more is less, I used to have a small brass tray with a brass tobacco jar, 2 small decanters and 2 crystal glasses, its all one needs really. Love the high ceilings and his tree is beautiful, Good work Nathan!!! I love how he heard his name while on the cell phone even though he cant hear, he is very in tune with his surroundings.❤
As always Nicolas have loved viewing your time with Your good friend Nathan, Was a joy to be shown his beautiful Home furnishings As well as recognizing his very unique personality Thank you both for the joy i felt Also how amazing the gift of the Portrait of yourself Witn your wonderful Sophie . What a prize gift. Mary Canada 🇨🇦
@@margaretfraser9610 Thank you! I was about to say - no-one will think you're vain for having a portrait of someone else! It's very decorative however.
@@hedisanders The artist is very talented. I don't think it is vain to have a portrait. That said, however, the size is over the top. You must feel somewhat the same way, or you wouldn't be going on and on about it. I wouldn't be that self absorbed, but you do you, Nicolas.
I hope this isn't too big an ask, but I hope you include Nathan in lots of segments. He has such a sweet and uplifting personality, as do you, Nicolas. The friendship that you share is wonderful to behold .😊😊❤❤
Nathan’s home is beautiful and so elegant. What a wonderful man and friend. He has a gentle soul that makes you want to be friends with him from the moment you meet him. I look forward to seeing more of him in future posts. 🍁🍂
Alright, Dorian Gray, relax. The portrait is not vain. Not anymore than putting your picture in a frame that is a memory of something wonderful. You are showcasing a wonderful artist and immortalizing Miss Sophie. When you get old like me, you can look at your forever young self and all the great memories that go along with it. Have a great time in Vienna. I have been there, and it is magical. Thanks for a marvelous video. And now 2 a week. Yeah!
That portrait is finely done - very accomplished. You will treasure this. I have a similar portrait of myself, painted by my late husband more than 40 years ago. For years, it was stored away, as we had so much art on display. Now I have it hanging in my bedroom. It is a source of comfort. I don’t think of myself when I see it, but of that time and circumstance, and of my dear love who created it.
You come across as such a caring and kind man Nicolas. As does Nathan. So I am so glad you have each other as friends:). Both apartments are beautiful.
Nathan must be very successful because he has pieces that are quite expensive. Nicolas aspires to have the same look, only Nicolas is on a limited budget.
The artist did a marvelous job. So glad you'll have that remembrance of Sophie. You'll never regret having a portrait of you at your age and little Sophie.
Nathan's apartment is stunning. Low key and elegant. His decorating style and his careful choosing of what he brings into his home are amazing. He can come and decorate my entire house anytime! :) Enjoy Vienna, hope you have time to visit the Hofburg!
No one would ever think you’re vain. The portrait is absolutely stunning. He captured you and Sophie in your element. What a wonderful thing for him to give you. You’ll always have Sophie there to look at forever. Jojo
Do you think the painting was a gift, or did Nicolas pay plenty to have it done? If the artist changed 300 pounds for that little flower picture, how much would he charge for a really big picture?
How lucky are you to have such a fabulous painter friend to do such an amazing portrait of you and Sophie. It beautiful and it has a very serene quality to it. You and Nathan could be part of an Architecture Digest photo shoot. Beautiful neutral home furnishings and you were both dressed the part also. Thank you for sharing your homes with us.
We absolutely LOVE your portrait, Nicolas! And that Sophie will be with you forever!!!! Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your very, very elegant living room with us! It is truly spectacular and reflects a gentleman of sophistication! Clever way of hanging the plates! Looking forward to your sharing Vienna with us!!! It was one of my favorite places, too. Wishing you a safe journey! xoxo
It's not like people haven't been having portraits done through history!! I think it's beautiful and charming and so sweet that Sofie is in it too! Nathan's apartment is gorgeous and so beautifully decorated. He has such lovely pieces!
You are right, this is the best time to take the portrait, the fullness that you are experiencing right now is reflected in your face. Sophie looks beautiful. I love that portrait, it's so natural! Nathan is a great artist, and he also has exquisite taste, his apartment looks so elegant and cozy.
My daughter is a very talented portrait artist, and I thought your and Sophie’s portrait is a wonderful piece of art. Not nearly enough people support the arts, and I appreciate the fact that you are supporting artists by commissioning paintings for your home.
This brought me to tears. I recently lost a beloved pet. I am so thankful for the love and memories and pictures I have. I was told that when the time comes letting them go is the last gift we can give them. My hope is that Sophie will be with you for quite some time! 🥰
Beautiful portrait! The light is so mellow and warm, your doggie is absolutely precious at your side. A treasure to hand down through generations. It brings so much life and warmth to your dining room. ❤
Nathan's apartment is absolutely gorgeous Nicholas, but I think you both have very similar taste in decor ...impeccable ! The portrait of you is spectacular !! what a stunning piece of art ! ❤
The portrait is not vain at all, it has been done for generations, supporting the art world. Jonathan is an accomplished artist, you are blessed to have such a connection, it looks amazing in your dinning room. Wow! I learned something new, your template on the paper is a brilliant idea, no mess that way. I enjoyed to see Nathan's expression of happiness after the plates were up, it creates a nice vignette with the desk. Both of you have a very elegant style of decorating. Looking forward to your next video, have a good trip and see you later. Thank you for all your efforts at sharing with us.
The look on Nathan's face when the second plates goes up! Pure joy. I too was given a portrait of myself by a very talented friend. I love it and have never thought it indulgent, or vain. It is moment in time. Enjoy it. It makes for conversation.
Nicolas, the portrait by Jonathan is impressive and definitely you. It is reminiscent of a bygone era of which you belong, being such an old soul. You have quite a classical taste, but blended with a modern, minimalist take. I am so glad that Sophie is a part of the portrait as she is a vital part of your life. Nathan's apartment is so full of light from those fantastic windows. I'm quite envious. I liked it best in the USA when the Christmas season began on Thanksgiving Day. Now, they start setting up holiday displays before Halloween is even over. Too, too soon. As a youth, in our home, the live evergreen 🌲 tree wasn't decorated until Christmas Eve. Times have certainly changed.
Nathan is such a marvelous person, his kindness and warm heart shine through. The plates are beautiful and Nicholas, your portrait is just so wonderful !!!! This was such a beautiful video.
I think more of us should commission portraits, my friend Biffa did one of me back in the 80s, full frontal nude, splayed open on a chair smoking a herbal cig. I had it in the entrance hall for years and a lot of people were shocked by it but it's not like it was a photo of my actual bits, more of an augmented reality. It now hangs in the Vicarage of all places as Biffa and her wife moved there and they have a wall of Saphic art.
We have one like that of my aunt Kate from the 1960s, it is called _Vulva and Vase_ and is surprisingly graphic, but also very nice colours which go very well with our green sofa (she was a redhead- no trimming back then 😂)
Nicolas you brought tears to my eyes about this portrait talking about Sophie!! Who cares what others may think. You always will find people who are jealous so put that out of your mind!! It is for you and Sophie and what a beautiful gift from a wonderful friend who captured both of you. You will be able to look at her when she is gone to the Doggy Rainbow Bridge, instead of a digital picture to remember her until you meet again!! Nathan WOW WOW WOW!!! I love your Christmas decor! You are such a classy man and a sweet one at that!! Thank you fr sharing. ❣
Hello Nicolas, The portrait is lovely (Jonathan has almost captured how handsome you really are!) Thanks to you and Nathan for showing us his absolutely gorgeous house. I must say, I love your house and decor, equally as much. That was a brilliant strategy for hanging those plates and hooks!! Also, it is wonderful that you're able to do 2 videos per week! I can't wait to see Vienna at this time of year. It's certainly my "next trip" 🤞. Have a wonderful time❤
Wow Nicholas, the portrait is absolutely stunning and captures you both beautifully, your years with Sophie will be precious to you and not vanity at all a wonderful snapshot of life. You wouldn't say that about displaying a photograph, it's a different medium and a special one. Very happy for you ❤ x
Nicolas - that portrait of you and Sophie is absolutely wonderful. Jonathan is a very special artist. Also, I think it looks perfect in the Dining room ..... Fabulous x
The portrait is wonderful. So nice that Sophie is in it. My grandmother had my portrait done when I was 15 years old. I’m now 68 and I now have the portrait. So fun to see it and remember old times. Enjoy your beautiful portrait ❤
My watercolor teacher in a class I took in college asked to paint me. She did it and it was amazing and it’s framed at my family’s house right now and it’s truly special. I think having a painting of yourself is something worth having. I also think it’s lovely to commission paintings too. Especially of you and your friends and family. They really are something great.
Beautiful painting! And specifically with Sophie with you, so special. The colors are just beautiful. Can feel your emissions about your loved dog getting old and realizing the best years are almost over. Have the same emotions with my doggie boy who is now 13 years and 3 months. Lots of love.
Freemantle’s portrait of you and Sofia is stunning..such a surprise. It is so you. Nathan’s apartment is to die for. I love it..I want to live there. Looking forward to the next video!
It’s a beautiful portrait and a wonderful spot for it. I shed a tear a two when you were talking about Sophie following you and how sweet she is. The spirit of you both are captured beautifully. Well done Jonathon.
The portrait/painting is fabulous! He did an outstanding job. You’re lucky to have that. You should always have it proudly displayed. Don’t worry about what anyone thinks about the portrait if it’s negative. Your thinking about it is correct and healthy.
Oh, and I’ll bet your large portrait would look wonderful in the living room where the map pictures are and the maps could stack where the portrait is.
I love the portrait; it is so natural and I love that Sophie is in it. It is something that generations of your family and friends will cherish. We all have pictures of ourselves in our home, but few of us are fortunate to know an artist who create such a masterpiece.
Hi Nicholas 💙and Sophie 💕 how beautiful is this portrait it’s fabulous what a piece of art!! WOW 🤩 A Treasure for life and beyond what you said about your darling Sophie made me burst out crying 😢 touched my heart ♥️ as I do know that feeling I had with my beautiful dog 🐾🐾 what a connection you have with your gorgeous girl ♥️🐾🐾♥️
Creating a portrait of yourself or your family is an excellent idea. By the way, I find yours stunning. Nathan or you have truly great taste in home decor. I especially love this chic and cozy style.
The portrait is amazing Nicholas it really does capture you and Sophie so perfectly, and thank you Nathen for having me in your beautiful home I really enjoyed that, I’m looking forward to going on a new adventure with you and Nathen, safe travels see you soon 🙏🏻😇✈️
Hi Nicolas ! I'm with you on not too early with the Christmas decorations. Jonathan is an amazing painter ! The colors he chose are soft and beautiful. He captured you and Sophie. We know your not vain. Enjoy it ! I also love the abstract he did in your living room. Again the colors are gorgeous ! WoW, Nathan's home is so beautiful !!!! Good job with the hanging of the plates.
Wow! The portrait is just wonderful in all regards! How lovely to have Sophie with you in this stunning portrait! I am also close to tears as you speak about Sophie as an important of your life. It is not self-indulgent at all, it will be a part of your own family history.
I am so glad you had the portrait done. It really is a beautiful piece and to include your lovely dog was such a great touch. If ever someone deserved to have a little self-indulgence it is you. All your reasons for this portrait are so valid and true. Jonathan did a beautiful job.
Nicolas, your portrait is stunning! Jonathan did an incredible job capturing your essence. I love your thoughtful words about looking back on it one day. It's so inspiring and visionary. The portrait looks perfect in the room! Thank you for sharing your amazing videos with us. Sending lots of love from Connecticut, U.S.
Love your portrait, so glad you included Sophie. The video today was wonderful. So enjoyed seeing some of Nathan’s home. I am also very happy you will do two videos a week now. They always make my day, you are so talented. ❤
What a truly gorgeous portrait of you and Sophie. I love the large size, the colors, and it suits your home. Excellent likeness of you. I'm so glad you showed us your trick for hanging the plates. I think it's brillant. I have framed photos and drawings I wanted to hang on a large wall, but felt so overwhelmed I haven't done anything. Now, I am so looking forward to getting started thanks to you!! Both you and Nathan have lovely homes. So warm and welcoming. ❤
You are really hitting us in the heart lately Nicolas with gorgeous Sophie and that portrait!! Wow is all I can say. The bare feet was a genius idea. Seeing little Sophie behind you on the way to Nathan’s place ! Awww! And wow! Nathan what a beautiful apartment it is! It feels like you! Your friendship is very touching. It’s nice to hear you say how happy and content you are at this time in your life Nicolas. Long may it continue. Getting emotional here and feeling very invested in all this now. Love from Tasmania, Australia (a place I think yourself and Nathan would love)! Hint ! Hint ! ❤
The portrait is stunning, good likeness of both of you! He’s certainly a talented portrait artist. Nathan has a gorgeous home; well done with the plate arrangement. I’m thinking what he really should have in that space between the fireplace and the plate arrangement is a full sized portrait of Penny and himself.

Witn your wonderful Sophie .
What a prize gift.
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for All of your hard work
THE PORTRAIT IS FABULOUS, BUT IS WAY TO LARGE FOR YOUR DINNING ROOM, THE PORTRAIT NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN A ROOM OF A LARGER SCALE.
The portrait is Absolutely amazing !!! I don’t think anyone thinks you are vain. Such a beautiful addition to your home. Timeless❤
Too bad it doesn't really look like Nicholas.
@@margaretfraser9610 Thank you! I was about to say - no-one will think you're vain for having a portrait of someone else! It's very decorative however.
So Narcissistic!!!

The portrait is astounding!!The artist brilliant; however it doesn't look like you, wrong hair and skin color, maybe he can lighten it up a bit
So glad darling Sophie is immortalised in your portrait
I hope this isn't too big an ask, but I hope you include Nathan in lots of segments. He has such a sweet and uplifting personality, as do you, Nicolas. The friendship that you share is wonderful to behold .😊😊❤❤
I love watching Nicholas videos especially when
Nathan is on!! They are such sweet friends!!
@@megflat2981same! If he had a channel I would watch too
This is so wholesome and I couldn't agree more 🥹
Love Nathan's fashion style, especially wide pants.
Love Nathan in the videos too when you are doing work with him or the fun you two have
Nathan’s home is beautiful and so elegant. What a wonderful man and friend. He has a gentle soul that makes you want to be friends with him from the moment you meet him. I look forward to seeing more of him in future posts. 🍁🍂

I agree.
The portrait is amazing! You should be very proud of it. Adding Sophie was perfect and you’ll be so glad you did in years to come.
I agree. Lovely portrait, he has captured you both perfectly.
Alright, Dorian Gray, relax.
The portrait is not vain. Not anymore than putting your picture in a frame that is a memory of something wonderful.
You are showcasing a wonderful artist and immortalizing Miss Sophie.
When you get old like me, you can look at your forever young self and all the great memories that go along with it.
Have a great time in Vienna. I have been there, and it is magical.
Thanks for a marvelous video. And now 2 a week. Yeah!
What a wonderful way to put all the rest of our thoughts into words. Beautifully said❤
Nathan’s apartment is beautiful and a perfect reflection of himself… a talented, artistic and sensitive spirit… such a handsome, sweet man.
You made me cry when you were talking about Sophie. It was beautiful.
Cried also 🙏🐕
Yes , I also found myself shedding a few tears ❤ although I’ve never had a dog but I’ve had my treasured cats 🐈
@@annabellazsanctuary the most amazing animals dogs and cats. Dogs are something out of this world, real angels on earth.🙏♥️
This warmed my heart. So loving ❤
Beautiful portrait.

Nathan must be very successful because he has pieces that are quite expensive. Nicolas aspires to have the same look, only Nicolas is on a limited budget.
@@maryoleary2037 What is Nathan's occupation?
@@theteal123 I believe Nathan is a professional photographer. Perhaps he has a few sidelines also.
The portrait is stunningly beautiful.I love it beyond words.You will cherish it for the rest of your life,and then someone else will cherish it.
The artist did a marvelous job. So glad you'll have that remembrance of Sophie. You'll never regret having a portrait of you at your age and little Sophie.
What a magnificent painting of you and Sophie. How lucky you have special friends
Nathan's apartment is stunning. Low key and elegant. His decorating style and his careful choosing of what he brings into his home are amazing. He can come and decorate my entire house anytime! :) Enjoy Vienna, hope you have time to visit the Hofburg!
I like Nathan's chair as it is , it adds depth with its darker tones
I tend to agree with you.
Nathan home is so well curated.
No one would ever think you’re vain. The portrait is absolutely stunning. He captured you and Sophie in your element. What a wonderful thing for him to give you. You’ll always have Sophie there to look at forever. Jojo
Oh my lord, your portrait is beautiful. It's a joy to watch your channel.
Nathans apartment is beyond amazing ❤
Do you think the painting was a gift, or did Nicolas pay plenty to have it done? If the artist changed 300 pounds for that little flower picture, how much would he charge for a really big picture?
How lucky are you to have such a fabulous painter friend to do such an amazing portrait of you and Sophie. It beautiful and it has a very serene quality to it.

Oh gosh, it's quite emotional that portrait with dear little Sophie, it is a beautiful painting.
Whoa Nicolas, that portrait is absolutely breathtaking! What an incredible artist who did that.
Nathan's flat is beautifully curated and is so elegant. This was a really enjoyable video.
Beautiful portrait! The light is so mellow and warm, your doggie is absolutely precious at your side. A treasure to hand down through generations. It brings so much life and warmth to your dining room. ❤
Nathan's apartment is absolutely gorgeous Nicholas, but I think you both have very similar taste in decor ...impeccable !
The portrait of you is spectacular !! what a stunning piece of art ! ❤
Nathan is a balm. What gorgeous energy you two emanate. Thank you for sharing, as always, your lovely home interiors. So inspiring and tasteful.

Love when you and Nathan are in videos. He’s also extremely elegant.
I just love Natham his home is gorgeous!!!!
It beautifully captures you, at this age, with Sophie. As the years pass, you will grow to love this gorgeous portrait more and more.

I believe everyone should have a portrait done. It is a moment in time and I think it's fabulous. Well done.
That is the most beautiful portrait I’ve ever seen. Well done indeed.
Nathan’s apartment is so nicely put together, very nice of him to share it with all of us. The plates are perfect on that wall, just lovely.
Nathan is such a marvelous person, his kindness and warm heart shine through. The plates are beautiful and Nicholas, your portrait is just so wonderful !!!! This was such a beautiful video.
I think you should absolutely have a portrait. That is so you. Every elegant house had a portrait of the home owner before 😊
I think more of us should commission portraits, my friend Biffa did one of me back in the 80s, full frontal nude, splayed open on a chair smoking a herbal cig. I had it in the entrance hall for years and a lot of people were shocked by it but it's not like it was a photo of my actual bits, more of an augmented reality.

That does sound really dramatic, a sort of _Origin of the World_ but with your own parts
What an amazing portrait! Why am I crying now 😢❤

People aren’t jealous. Find a more original adjective.
You and Nathan both have beautiful eyes and nice smiles. Love the portrait!
Hello Nicolas,

Wow! how amazing are you two? I love Nathan and I love his apartment... Nicolas, you are a joy! XXX
The portrait is beautiful, and you will cherish it forever. Nathan's apartment is exquisite.
I love how he captures the light and shadows! Great job!
A lovely portrait of you & Sophie. A happy moment in time.
Its an amazing portrait because its a casual representation of the subject! Nicolas and Sophie ❤ Jonathan did a fantastic job, a wonderful talent.
Wow Nicholas, the portrait is absolutely stunning and captures you both beautifully, your years with Sophie will be precious to you and not vanity at all a wonderful snapshot of life. You wouldn't say that about displaying a photograph, it's a different medium and a special one. Very happy for you ❤ x
Nicolas - that portrait of you and Sophie is absolutely wonderful. Jonathan is a very special artist. Also, I think it looks perfect in the Dining room ..... Fabulous x
It’s not vain. I think it’s a wonderful moment in time with your little dog and it’s lovely ❤🎉
The portrait is wonderful. So nice that Sophie is in it. My grandmother had my portrait done when I was 15 years old. I’m now 68 and I now have the portrait. So fun to see it and remember old times. Enjoy your beautiful portrait ❤
My watercolor teacher in a class I took in college asked to paint me. She did it and it was amazing and it’s framed at my family’s house right now and it’s truly special. I think having a painting of yourself is something worth having. I also think it’s lovely to commission paintings too. Especially of you and your friends and family. They really are something great.
Beautiful painting! And specifically with Sophie with you, so special. The colors are just beautiful. Can feel your emissions about your loved dog getting old and realizing the best years are almost over. Have the same emotions with my doggie boy who is now 13 years and 3 months. Lots of love.
Nicolas you are just the most lovely person ever!!!!
Loving everything you do with Nathan. Your homes, your travel.. etc. It certainly has helped your channel.
This is Linda Nathan what a beautiful photo of you and your sweet dog. This is a real treasure and I am so glad you did this.
Freemantle’s portrait of you and Sofia is stunning..such a surprise. It is so you. Nathan’s apartment is to die for. I love it..I want to live there. Looking forward to the next video!

Oh, and I’ll bet your large portrait would look wonderful in the living room where the map pictures are and the maps could stack where the portrait is.
Nicolas, the portrait is very nice. You don’t often see a full length portrait. I think it’s so special that Sophie is in the painting with you.
It’s a wonderful portrait as well as a stand alone work of art. No fear of ego- it’s a beautiful modern painting.
I love the portrait; it is so natural and I love that Sophie is in it. It is something that generations of your family and friends will cherish. We all have pictures of ourselves in our home, but few of us are fortunate to know an artist who create such a masterpiece.

Creating a portrait of yourself or your family is an excellent idea. By the way, I find yours stunning. Nathan or you have truly great taste in home decor. I especially love this chic and cozy style.
Love the taste of Nathan’s decoration.

Love the portrait.Nathans apartments is absolutely beautiful🥰
Hi Nicolas ! I'm with you on not too early with the Christmas decorations. Jonathan is an amazing painter ! The colors he chose are soft and beautiful. He captured you and Sophie. We know your not vain. Enjoy it ! I also love the abstract he did in your living room. Again the colors are gorgeous ! WoW, Nathan's home is so beautiful !!!! Good job with the hanging of the plates.
The windows in both apartments are beautiful.
What a beautiful portrait you got and Nathans home is just mindblowing, exquisite taste.
Wow! The portrait is just wonderful in all regards! How lovely to have Sophie with you in this stunning portrait! I am also close to tears as you speak about Sophie as an important of your life. It is not self-indulgent at all, it will be a part of your own family history.
Nathan’s apartment is lovely
I am so glad you had the portrait done. It really is a beautiful piece and to include your lovely dog was such a great touch. If ever someone deserved to have a little self-indulgence it is you. All your reasons for this portrait are so valid and true. Jonathan did a beautiful job.
Nicolas, your portrait is stunning! Jonathan did an incredible job capturing your essence. I love your thoughtful words about looking back on it one day. It's so inspiring and visionary. The portrait looks perfect in the room! Thank you for sharing your amazing videos with us. Sending lots of love from Connecticut, U.S.
That is the Best portrait of anyone I've seen in a long time! Geat job by your artist.
Nathan's apartment is absolutely gorgeous. Love the high ceilings. 😊❤
Love your portrait, so glad you included Sophie. The video today was wonderful. So enjoyed seeing some of Nathan’s home. I am also very happy you will do two videos a week now. They always make my day, you are so talented. ❤
LOVE your portrait~ sooo perfect and beautiful
Your portrait is beautiful, what a amazing artist your friend is.❤
I wish I could meet Nathan. My heart goes out to him.
What a truly gorgeous portrait of you and Sophie. I love the large size, the colors, and it suits your home. Excellent likeness of you.
I'm so glad you showed us your trick for hanging the plates. I think it's brillant. I have framed photos and drawings I wanted to hang on a large wall, but felt so overwhelmed I haven't done anything. Now, I am so looking forward to getting started thanks to you!! Both you and Nathan have lovely homes. So warm and welcoming. ❤
Beautiful work ❤
You are really hitting us in the heart lately Nicolas with gorgeous Sophie and that portrait!! Wow is all I can say. The bare feet was a genius idea. Seeing little Sophie behind you on the way to Nathan’s place ! Awww! And wow! Nathan what a beautiful apartment it is! It feels like you! Your friendship is very touching. It’s nice to hear you say how happy and content you are at this time in your life Nicolas. Long may it continue. Getting emotional here and feeling very invested in all this now. Love from Tasmania, Australia (a place I think yourself and Nathan would love)! Hint ! Hint ! ❤
The portrait is stunning, good likeness of both of you! He’s certainly a talented portrait artist. Nathan has a gorgeous home; well done with the plate arrangement. I’m thinking what he really should have in that space between the fireplace and the plate arrangement is a full sized portrait of Penny and himself.
