I read your amazingly self-deprecating intro to this, scrolled down to the painting and said "Holy smokin'" out loud. I am currently completely alone in the house and not given to talking to myself. Holy wow.

Wow! Such sensitivity!
David,
Again, you blow us all away with the most sensitively rendered portraits ever! Can anyone do this almost as well?
You are amazing, not only for your fine talent and technical virtuosity, but that this one pierces the heart with it's emotional content, just as all your works do.
Kudos,
Garth

Hello,
your paint is simply..beautiful..the skin is perfect..she lives.Do you have some photos from work in progress? I think that is important to see the evolution of a paint to take secrets of development.
Bye, luca.

David,
I wish that I knew some words of appraisal that was not already used on this beautiful pastel. You deserve every one and more.
I think that pastel is a powerful discipline and not second to oil-painting, but I will look forward to your attempts on the canvas.
She reminds me of my own grandma in that coat and scarf and the mild determent gaze.
