Cindy, your portraits are excellent. I love pastel too and you have certainly learned to use them as painting tools. The proportions, modelling and lighting are well done and you seem to have captured something of the psychology of these people. Although they are strangers to me, yet they appeal.Mr Benn and Ashley and Mr Bass have strong appeal. Excellent work and thank you.
Artist Reply: You certainly know how to make a person feel good...thanks so much Keith for the fantastic comments
You are a very good portrait artist. The flesh tones are rich and warm. The composition is strong. And the color choice is interesting. You make pastels look easy, which they are not.
