Ellie's brother Will

Here is Ellie's big brother Will. I'll spare you all the next few vignettes

. Seems there has been a run on these lately, I'm ready to do something new, but have a few more to do.

These are lovely, I especially like the light on Ellies big brother

What kind of paper are you using, the colour looks very like the sennelier I was using, but how do you keep it so clean?

Mary,

Yum! You have really conveyed such a strong quality of the light!

Mary Sparrow · 04-18-2005, 02:18 PM

Thank you Chris, I've spent hours studying your portraits and how you handle light, so if you are liking these you have yourself to thank

Carolyn, it is the Sennelier la carte, and the answer to your question is VERY, VERY carefully.

Luminous. It glows....

Please, Mary, DO NOT SPARE US ANY of your beauriful work. I, too, have studied Chris' work along with studying WITH Chris, as I am attracted to the kind of beauriful strength of light and color both of you so masterfully display in your paintings. I love these two. They are inspirational. I thank you for sharing them with us.

Mary,
What a beautiful touch. I especially like the brother. What was it you were going to spare us from

? I think the sunlight and contrast are nicely done. I

Mary, as usual these are both so lovely. You have the uncanny ability to capture the essence of children. I just love the way you handle lighting. What a pair these two make! The client is going to kiss you.

Hi Mary,

These are beautiful, fresh, and will hang togehter very well. Don't stop posting vignettes, you are encouraging me to try one myself.

You have a wonderful, charming touch with children; not everybody can do this. Congratulations again!

Mary, Will is great. The lighting is spot on. He is nearly ready to walk out of the paper. It is a thrill to see you develop your style.
