Hi Beth, you did an especially good job of using your model to come up with a believable pose. Bravo! The reference was certainly challenging. I'm sure God has a little sparkle in his/her eye concerning your irreverence.

Jean

Bravo Beth! Your best yet.

I'm flattered you chose to follow my lead. I always say the end justifies the means. When someone looks at your portrait, there is no place to list excuses. A professional does whatever is necessary to produce their best result. It was pointed out to me long ago that in life you get either reasons or results.

Well done!

Very nice, Beth

The church needs to be warned. Hang this one high, and out of Beth's reach. She'll start painting over it if she can get her hands on it.

Say what you will about poor photo references. At least they make you challenge yourself. Your graphic design skills came into play here, piecing together parts to get what you wanted. Good work!

Beth,

One of the most appealing aspects of this painting to me is your use of edges, very lovely. I agree with Linda/Marvin. This is your best, and what a compliment it is to you that we keep saying that every time you post a new piece.

Congragulations!

Beth,

This portrait is animated! You can't walk by her without being drawn into a conversation.

Congratulations!
