What an interesting comment, Linda. Makes me want to run out and buy new brushes, at the very least!

Linda,

I missed this when first introduced. Beautiful. I recently took pictures of a girl wearing purple. I was a bit nervous about it, but I told her to wear whatever she wanted. You proved it works. BTW, if you had said this was you at 17, I'd believe it.

I have to second Jim's opinion there, Linda. She sure looks a lot like you! (at least based on your little avatar)

Linda -

Thank you for that info on the ABS vs. the gessoed board! This helps a lot.

Seeing that close up I am wowed by the freckles - those look great. I have never been able to get freckles to look so real.

Gosh, I was never this cute. Anyway, this girl is around twelve or thirteen, and this is approximately what I looked like at her age:
(Thanks again, everybody, for the nice comments on the painting!)

This is a really beautiful painting. I would love to see it "in person."

Well, shoot.... I looked away for a minute and you came up with this! I think it's fantastic. Maybe my favorite of yours so far.

Best--TE

Linda,

If THIS is what you looked like at thirteen, all I can say is that I would have killed to have the honor of painting your portrait. How often time and fate consire to rob us of opportunity. It would have been a portfolio piece no one would have forgotten.
