Hey Diane! Glad to see you here too. I won't feel so alone being new though I suspect we have both been looking around for a while.

Hi Lisa,
I think you are right about posting here. I am so very humbled by the excellence of work. I feel like a beginner and I've been painting for 25 years or more. I hope to learn much much more through this site. I am just wondering if impressionism is not acceptable as a portrait style though. It would be nice to know before I start posting paintings.

I'm glad there is someone I know here Lisa! Welcome.

Dianne

Welcome, Dianne! I lived on Lummi Island off the coast of Bellingham many years ago, and I love that part of the country.

Your painting is very fresh and appealing. Is the medium watercolor?

While many of the artists who frequent this forum subscribe to a more realistic approach, impressionism is certainly well-represented here and is definitely acceptable.

Happy posting!
