Thank you, Linda

The kids have modeled for me since they were infants. I painted my daughter during a show when she was 4 months old, so they are used to it. They pose for local artists as well and love getting paid for it. I am drawn (no pun intended) to trying to capture the quality that defines the stages they are going through as they mature. Besides that when they are modeling I know where they are.

Both are lovely and beautiful.
Congrats!

Could you post some closeups of your daughter?

Thank you, Bonfim

I finished her portrait a few months ago. Here is a close up.

Vianna,

I have been admiring yoru daughter's portrait since you posted it. Now with your son's, you have the perfect pair. You painted his mouth so well. You handled his glasses perfectly (something I always find difficult). I agree that the skin tones are marvelous. I look forward to seeing what's next. Perhaps a self portrait?

Hi Vianna -

Echoing what has already been said: Very nice pair of portraits!

Vianna,

I think this portrait of your son captures something intangible that really comes across to the viewer. So does the one of your daughter. They are both full of feeling--a powerful ingredient in a successful portrait.
