This is an oil painting (18x24) that I did based on the pastel study I did earlier. (See portfolio-portraits). I find the smaller pastel study helped me figure out the darks and lights better.
(this is copied and pasted due to an injury and typing is a pain, but i wanted to let you know that your work excited and inspired me.... i should be back to my windy self in 7 to 10 days) ......hugs and keep up the creative wonderful work!... §.. : )
Artist Reply: thanks, sher and I hope you are feeling better. I'm dealing with chemotherapy and there was some nerve damage to my fingers, jaw, and toes from it. Just now getting back to painting and can finally type better.
