Garth--
Terrific paint handling--loose but solid. Wonderful characterization...she's right there! Best--TE |
This treasure of a painting will be at every family Christmas gathering for decades to come, I'm sure.

Beautiful work, Garth! I like how you kept the teeth from overshadowing the face.
Since I'm about to start a portrait with the teeth having to show, I naturally am looking for good examples of how to handle it - so, thanks!. |
Garth,
I love her expression, it looks so natural. It |
Her face radiates "summer," that childlike wonder that if we're lucky to live long enough, we all might hope to rediscover.

Garth! It's impossible to look at this portrait without smiling back at this woman. You have made beautiful what would in many artist's hands have turned out to be wildly unsuccessful. Gosh, a big congratulations to you, this one succeeds and you should be so proud of this. |

I still think you are one of the best living portrait artists.... This is another testament to your ability as a painter and a draftsman. Not only is it masterfully painted, but it speaks to my soul. You can feel this woman's spirit live forever which is what we do as portrait artist's; recording the soul of a person for all time and you have done it remarkably... AGAIN! Tony P.S.
