  Kim, this is just gorgeous! I love the brushwork and how you have portrayed her--I see innocence and youthful optimism here, a very strong and powerful portrait!

  you are indeed, gifted beyond usual talent. you seem to be able to capture a persons inner being and that is indescribable... absolute perfection from shadow to light, from stroke to smudge, absolute delight... bless you...

  I have never been able to capture someone with an artistic eye. You seem to do it with ease. For the "rest" of us, work like this is simply amazing.

  thanks Linda :)
  lovely critique :)
  Tamika's portrait was one of those portraits where everything went smoothly...partly due to the quality of the oils and a new medium that I'm trying out...
  
  
  many thanks for your descriptive critique Renny :)
  you do so well with English as your other language... a wonderful week to you too !!!
  
  thanks Diane
  I was very fortunate to take some great photos with excellent lighting....
  ah I see you really have the hang of the signature thingy too....very clever :)
  
  thanks Cooper...
  I will be starting one of Tamika's sister soon so I will be looking at the two portraits complimenting each other :)
  
  thankyou Lyn
  for your touching critique...
  I have to say that I'm very pleased with the outcome :)
  have a delightful day...
  
  thanks Eric :)
  haha the secret is lots of practice
  and for the record....I could never produce an illustration like you did of that truck using keyboard symbols :P

  Fantastic yob, Auntie Kim!
  
  How is it that I didn't connect the dots that Tamika is your niece? :*(
  
  She's absolutely gorgeous...

  She looks beautiful, another great portrait Kim. I am in awe of your talent. Talking of joining the dots, Saboma, that is about my level of drawing ability.

  ah yes Colin...
  I was very happy with the "twinkle" in her eye....
  the lighting that day was superb :)
  
  hi Jafabrit
  thanks...I'm rather partial to greyscale at the moment....in some ways a lot simpler than colour values...
  thanks for your offer to add me too :)

  I am really glad to hear that although I wonder if it will solve the problem - openid is just a way of identifying yourself - don't think there is a public profile attached to it so not sure if links will be made back to non blogger blogs.

  Incredible portrait Kim. No one does it better than you. A very beautiful likeness and a story well told. I feel as though I know her you did the painting so well. Amazing!

  I was just browsing through your old posts and this portrait is amazing! I love that you used various shading all throughout the canvas. I wish I had your talent at painting people.
