Vignette for your thoughts-my first post here

[David Draime]

Ditto to what everyone has said and welcome!! Beautiful job and I'm sure the client(s) will be delighted. You have an expert command of the medium. The only thing I see which needs attention might be the reflected light in his lower left (our right) cheek. It seems a tad light and perhaps a bit too blue ( the blue part could just be my monitor). Really, only kind of a nit-picky thing.

But. wow! you sure do have some skills!! I can't wait to see every piece you post from now on..

Great Eyes Lisa, I love it.

Dear Lisa,

Ditto! Ditto! This is impressive and beautiful. One can just tell that the likeness is dead-on, by the credible workmanship. Please show us some more!

Oh, and Welcome!

Garth

Well you all have made my day and calmed my nerves about posting here. Whew! I was scared to death.

Thank you Garth for you kind comments.

Ngaire, thank you as well. I love painting eyes. I wish I could do portaits of only eyes. Hey, that's a thought. Maybe I will try that! I can call them GUESS WHO portraits.

David, I really appreciate your comments. You just might be right though I looked at a few of the other photos I took of the portrait and that light area seems a bit more consistent in some of the other photos. I had to use a flash to get the background color right. Maybe that intensified it. My other photos were blurry but had better color. I have GOT to learn to take better photos. I am going to watch what you said in the future for sure. I also noticed that the color in the one I posted is a bit cooler (especially the shadows) and a tiny bit more red than the original. It is so hard to get accurate color in photos. Maybe it's just me but I would love to blame my camera. Thank you for paying such close attention.

Kimberly, I love your work and I think we have crossed paths before. Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot to me.

Thanks again to all of you.
