There is just the issue of getting a good photo from which to work, if you work from a photo. Then there is the issue of what you do with the thing afterward. I have done a couple, and feel silly looking at myself on the wall. But as for yours, I quite like the top one, especially the way the hat shades your face. It looks like you, I think.Sherry Pierce Thurnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949006925160703266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-26464578227269186832009-07-28T19:22:03.559-04:002009-07-28T19:22:03.559-04:00I love the first one.

I want to know what you look like, and it seems like you're present in the top one. I like the bottom one for the sunny mood. So both are just wonderful.<br /><br />You always do great work.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-18857685012821462952009-07-27T12:43:27.174-04:002009-07-27T12:43:27.174-04:00Portraits must be about the most difficult subject...Portraits must be about the most difficult subject to complete in a painterly manner.
