I think she's done for what it's worth. Just when I feel satisfiedI take a look at all your portraits here and feel like it's back to the drawing board! We all need to be motivated!

Diane,

The way you have handled the paint and made your color choices is just lovely!

[Michele Rushworth]

Nice work, Dianne. Can you post some closeups?

(Hope to see you plein air painting sometime this summer!)

[Dianne Gardner]

Thank you Enzie and Michele

Michele, I do hope you're going up to the San Juans this month!

Here's a close up of her face. The photo came out a little orange and I had to photo shop it.

Dianne, this turned out so well! You've captured the nuances in her features and expression; for me this is the major attraction. It is supported by a strong composition. It gives the impression of a real girl who actually lived in the past rather than someone modeling in period costume.

[Dianne Gardner]

What an honorable compliment Alex! Thank you. That means a lot to me.
