I've enjoyed your Portfolio tremendously and had to pick a favorite to leave a message ... this Beautiful display of innocense is not easily achieved.. You 've mastered the softness.. and the subtle personalities of each Twin.. Is that you on the right .. very focused and sure??!! Lovely !! Just Lovely !!

How wonderful to be able to paint yourself and sister down your road in your lifes journey! Self taught is great in my book, then you don't have someone elses stamp on you - or even college stamp on your work!

Artist Reply: Thank you Wendy for your kind remarks.My twin sister is also a self taught artist,but does not do people,loves to do landscapes.Myself I love to try anything,but always go back to portraits.Thanks again for your comment,it is greatly appreciated. Regards merilyn
