Hello




Hello, Patricia and Leslie.

Thank you for writing. Thank you for the warm welcome. I love Washington. I spent many years in AZ and it was hard to adjust to the continual wetness, although I remember praying for rain a lot in AZ! Guess you have to watch what you wish for. It's so beautiful here though.

I only paint in oils. I've been working on another one more recently of my daughter. I'll post the head shot as I'm not finished with the whole thing yet. Not sure what other forums to post my work to.

Welcome DIANNE to the Forum,

Was always astonished by the beauty of Seattle area and the easygoing ambiance of it!
I see the same thing in your painting!

Sergio

Welcome Diane,

I love your soft, loose, painterly style.

Dianne,

I've been admiring the portrait of your daughter. It's beautifully painted and her expression and pose have so much feeling and individuality. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your portraits.

Alex
