hi Anna
thanks for your kind comments.......
Wow, Wounderful job Kim !!!******
thanks so much Greg !!!!
Wow............that's a gorgeous portrait!!! Really amazing!!!
hey Ev
thanks so much for your comment !!!!
The likeness you captured is awesome. Lots of personality. I love it when an artist can capture the soul and spirit of their subjects. The life in the sitter. Nice work.
thank you so much Boyd.....to know your subject on the inside and to convey that in a portrait is the ultimate success for me.....and some models are easier to paint or draw.....(like Deborah)
I have never painted a portrait of someone that I didn't like or admire .......
