The Life of a Portrait Painter





The Very Picture of You by Isabel Wolff



This book was immensely satisfying to read. As Ella paints 


portraits, the stories her sitters tell weave into her own life 


and help her make decisions and inspire her, such as whether 


to see her estranged father, whether to advise her sister Chloe 


on an upcoming wedding, and more. The descriptions of the 


painting process, whether technical paint colors or emotional 


revelations was described well. The end felt meaningful and 


hard-won. Read this book!
