Thank you Mike. I pour my heart and my soul into every portrait I paint, so your comments are greatly appreciated.

Lovely masterful work!

I don't stop by here very often these days, but when I do, I am always thrilled when I spot a new Mattelson painting to drool over. Another superb beauty!

Thanks Laurel for your kind comments.

Heidi, You flatter me. I have the same reaction when I see your beautiful work.

Perfection!

Marvin, I love this. She's so alive and the color is beautiful.

Thanks Garth and Alex, It's been a while since I posted this so I was surprised to see it pop back up. Very pleasantly surprised. I genuinely admire you both, so thanks for making my day.

Wow, so beautiful, your heart and soul certainly shines through your work.

Just gorgeous, Marvin. Should we put it in the Teen Girls gallery on Stroke of Genius? You may already be there with an older one. I'd have to look.

Thank you Leslie,

I don't believe I'm currently in that gallery Cynthia.
