Samantha
This is a portrait of Samantha, a beautiful little jewel. I call this a portrait vignette. It has a more spontaneous quality than a fully realized portrait which I felt was perfect for portraying her. At the same time I was able to resolve the subtle modeling of her face. I have included a couple of enlargements.
There was no preliminary drawing. I just started drawing with fairly transparent paint on a canvas toned with a thin umber coat.

Lovely Marvin. She is a cutey pie. I always love portraits that show parts that are unfinished or the bare canvas. Its like one of Michelangelo's unfinished scultures. This is one of your masterpieces Marvin. Congratulations.

OH MY Marvin, all of your portraits are wonderful, but since children's portraits are near and dear to my heart, and I happen to have a daughter that looks much like this child...this one made my heart skip a beat! Simply beautiful!

So beautiful, Marvin!
This one is truly a jewel. I know this because I held this (small!) painting in my arms and had to resist the urge to run down the hall with it and flee the jurisdiction.

Linda,
You have made a terrible mistake. What's the worst that could have happened? Six months at Ellis Island? Well worth the price paid.
Thanks Marvin, I am someone that learns from seeing, more so than hearing or reading. These examples help me a great deal.

Marvin, 
I love this one, my favorite of yours so far. Must be the unfinished quality, she looks like she's able to move around and not confined to a stiff environment.
Next time Linda, pepper spray Marvin, then quickly hand him a blank canvas of the same size before he can see again, and run for the hills. Well, that's what I would have done. Ok, not really.
Once again, great work.

Marvin,
You are truly a modern day Bouguereau! I love the vignette. Super.
