Just finished this portrait

[Chris Saper]

I'm also very thrilled to hear of your success.

I really love the portrait you've posted, it has a warm and approachable feel, and I think she is a woman I'd like to have coffee with.She reminds me a great deal of my neighbor, who is competent, bright, funny, and also a recent widow. Sometimes it can be that familiar, visceral response that grabs the viewer.

Dear Chris, thanks so much for your reply! Yes she is very nice, but also very strong willed!

Bianca,

It looks like you enjoyed painting her, You really captured the light in her eyes and the strong bone structure of her face. I get a definite impression of her character and what it might feel like to be actually talking to her.
