Garth,
I echo everyone to tell you that it's simply elegant. ( and I loved the close up)

Another gorgeous painting, Garth! What can I say about this work that I haven't said about your others? Her caring personality shines through--wonderful painting!
take care,
Renee

Lovely!
Garth,
This is one of the most lovely renditions I've ever seen that tributes an equally lovely personality. This woman's portrait just radiates with what I call a truly "servant hearted" demeanor. I, like someone earlier said, would wish that I could know a doctor such as this.
Oh, and your painterly strokes are the same as always...........AWESOME!   
Your friend,
Geary

At this point in a long list of wonderful comments mine will probably not mean much but I feel compelled to say that this is my absolute favorite of yours because I can see YOU in this! I love the treatment of the hair, the fact I can see painterly strokes of the brush (well placed and thoughtful), and the background. To me Garth, this one has the artist singing beautifully throughout and I congratulate you on a knockout painting of a lovely woman. You brought me out of a crushing amount of work with this one. Back to work. Terrific portrait. Keep singing.

I feel compelled to add that I totally agree with what Lisa has so eloquently expressed.
Get loose!

I'm a late comer as well, but congratulations on another successful portrait.
I also feel her warmth. I think it is the sparkle (lines) from her eyes that does it for me.
My mother has that when she smiles and you can't help but smile back when that happens.
Great job.
Janel
