Oh my word! You're not what I would call lazy! It's nothing but astonishing. I am not sure what more you would work on except, perhaps, enticing her to actually step out of the canvas to greet us. What most appealing is that it is so finished and yet the brushmarks are not at all tight. A supreme effort, and just waiting to win a fortune in art competition prizes!

absolutely stunning... I love the skin tonal range and those eyes. You certainly stepped up the bar with this work.

Dear Sergio,

I have really missed you here! This is a gorgeous piece, not as if that is any surprise.

I think this portrait is fulminant with your style, compelling, and I love seeing it.

PS This probably feels like a "miniature" to you.

For newer Forum members, please take the time to search all of Sergio's posts. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Sergio,

You would have given Roger van der Weyden a run for his money.
Absolutely impecable!
So if my calculations are correct, it must have taken you 1 week to do that eye?

Many congratulations!

Sergio,

I am beyond words in awe! This is an astonishingly wonderful portrait, and I will be surprised if it gets anything less than top PSOA honors in Philadelphia, next May! I'd love an opportunity to see this. Congratulations in advance!


Garth
