What incredible power there is in just sitting and talking with each other!  To capture the dynamics of a simple conversation, I arranged for my friend Malka and her roommate Chani to pose for a painting while conversing. 

When they showed up for the sitting, I found out they had never actually sat down together and had a deep conversation. They looked up “36 questions to get a conversation going” on the internet in order to get personal right away, and both remarked later that the exchange was the highlight of their week. 

This is the capturing of that exchange.
