Thanks John!

I want to share with you what most of my reference shots looked like...this lady knows how to laugh. I've never had a worse model! Or laughed so hard during a shoot.

Thanks Jean and Terri!

Terri - I told her she can have the painting, but all the shots of her laughing are mine. I have about 30 like that where she is laughing so hard she is crying. They are hilarious. Each one has a different facial expression. This is what always happens when you point a camera at her. Im going to put several in a row like this and frame them.

Beautiful portrait, wonderful Mom. I don't know how she did it either.

I've never painted my mom, for some reason I worry that I couldn't do it. Maybe it is time to try.

I'm thinking it was because she had such a perfect child.

This may not be done yet actually....she is moaning about the teeth. I tried to tell her.....
