Elizabeth,

This is really wonderful! I think this portrait constitutes a real "break-through". It's your best work yet. You've integrated the entire work well. Great background, too.

Wonderful, Beth. The pose and background seem to really fit the subject. He looks like someone who would think this was "totally awesome, dude!"

Great likeness, great skintones!

Congratulations on the success of this painting, it's wonderful.

I agree
 

This one is REALLY nice, I think it is my favorite of yours as well! Great job.;)

Nice to see the finished painting. I like the expression, and you've captured Ben really well.

Excellent work Beth!

You've captured both the "attitude" of the subject, and the sparkle in the eye.

More power to your elbow!

Beth,

Not bad!

And the painting's wonderful too!

Bravissimo!

Beth, everytime I come back after an absence, you astound me with yet another great portrait.

This is one beautiful painting Beth! I think this is my favourite of your painting so far.

Mai
