Scott doesn’t usually do portraits. Nor does he like being asked to do painting assignments. However, in this particular case he felt he couldn’t refuse. Sanjiv has been a tremendous support and loving friend to Scott and to me. We are both forever grateful to him for all he has done and continues to do. Hardly one day has gone by in 8 months that I have not received a phone call from Sanjiv. His level-headedness has helped keep me focused on getting the best care for Scott and helped navigate the Indian system. His humor has helped me and Scott through many a dark day. We love you, Sanjiv.
Namaste, Katy

Two portraits Scott has done were created on this journey. One is Rohan Marley which was given to him in Mumbai.

The other portrait Scott did was of Aneel Verman of Sur La Mer who requested a portrait done while we were staying at Sur La Mer. Aneel a.k.a. Loonie rejected Scott’s initial finished portrait because he had neglected to put Aneel’s tattoo on his neck. With reluctance, Scott went back and added the tat later…
