16x20 acrylic on canvas This was my first attempt at painting a portrait of someone. I painted this several years ago before I acually started painting. I had the urge to try painting and I went out and bought some acrylic paint. My friend Janet is beautiful and made a great model.

This is a lovely portrait. Even more so when you realise that there was no training involved! :) It's quite old-fashioned, yet mesmerising, as well.Debbie Jensen 30 Apr 2005

This is so wonderful... love the skin tones and she is beautiful....lerat andree 16 Apr 2005
For a first try, this is fantastic. Her hands are a little too small for her face, but the overall painting has warmth and personality. Because of the hands I can only give the image a 9.Nira Dabush 16 Apr 2005
