My source for practice
Hello! I hope I do this right since I am new here. This is a recent portrait of my daughter I did for practice since I am trying a new board. I am also trying to learn more about lighting. You can see I am a tighter painter than some, pretty detail oriented I guess. I appreciate you looking at it.

Another great job Lisa, you handle oils as beautifully as you handle pastels. I'd like to see your work in oils when your not "practicing".

Jimmie, thank you very much. I must admit I am more comfortable with pastels so I am pushing myself to "brush up" (pun intended) on my oils. I've been more excited about that since I discovered the gessoed board. Seems whether it's a commission or personal painting, it's all practice to me. I suppose my clients are lab mice. Don't know if I will ever "arrive." We'll see if we all live long enough.
Thank you, Garth (Jerome). One of these days I am going to loosen up a little and see what kind of train wreck I can create.
I really appreciate your responses as I sincerely admire the work both of you do.

I think that's a great attitude for everyone, no matter what their endeavor. We always learn and grow.

Lisa, very nice indeed. Your style does not get in the way of executing a beautiful painting.
We are all learning (especially me) and you have contributed to my education with this posting.

Hi Lisa, this is beautifully done! The way you've handled the sunlight kissing her hair and the color it brings out is especially nice. Just charming!
(and how nice to have such a good little model readily available!)

Thank you, Terri. We have decided to keep our daughter (I say with a wink). By the way, I look forward to learning a lot from you!
