Linda, thanks for the closeups. Your work is beautiful at close range, too. It's aways interesting to me to "hear" artists discussing how to define portraiture. I don't think it is posssible to clearly define the boundaries between portraiture, figurative art, and landscape. There are all sorts of variations. This forum focuses on traditional portraiture; that makes me think of Sargent's plein aire paintings of his friends in landscapes. Of course he's not the only one to do this--I just happened to think of his art. It's arguable, but I would say these works are just as much meant to be portraits of specific people than they are meant to be landscapes or figurative works. Though your work is unique, there's plenty of tradition to support what you are doing.
