Beautiful work, Michele.
Nice composition. This green gem is very fascinating (and very complementary to these warm colors). Its like a second focus point after the head...
Congratulations.

Wow, Michele! I really admire how you continue to portray such character within the formal confines of an executive portrait. I especially like the compositional choices you've made here; the spots of glowing warmth around the man lead up to face are so nicely done. No wonder you are doing so well in this category. I am going to study your work very carefully the next time I need to paint a suit.
Big congratulations to you on this one and all the future commissions!

Beautiful work, Michelle! I am not sure what to say about what I like most - the skintones, the man's expression, the choice of background color, the hands- they're all great!

Dear Michelle,
Another beautifully handled portrait. Congratulations! You have a great nack to capture the friendly side of your corporate/political figures, rather than the stern look that we all have accustomed to seeing in the representation of people of high rank.

Funny you should say that, Enzie. The one on my easel right now has a very serious look!
