When I went to my friends Anniversary party last summer, his granddaughter Alexa was there. She was so pretty and I asked her if I can take her photo. After I finished her portrait, her Mom saw it and wanted to purchase it.. it's always such a compliment when someone likes your work! SO now the portrait has a new home...
Hi Hilda,
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely and painted with perfection. Wonderful skin tones. Such talent!
Enjoy your day.
thank you so much Carol. You're so kind and I appreciate your comment!!!
DeleteWell I certainly can understand the need to purchase. This turned out perfect Hilda.As always you hit just the right skin tones and shading. Your hair is also just super. Oh, just love this one.
ReplyDeletethank you Nelvia! I'm glad you liked this portrait! Enjoy your Evening!
DeleteHola Hilda, estoy viendo tus retratos con mucho placer.
ReplyDeleteAntes, quiero decirte de que me alegro mucho de que hayas superado tan bien lo de tu operación y ya se ve, que pintas mucho de nuevo y esto... es buena noticia!
Shadia me gusta mucho y como refleja la pintura y sus ojos, debe ser muy dulce.
Megan es muy hermosa y Alexa una magnífica pintura. No es extraño que su madre te la haya querido comprar.
Un fuerte abrazo.
Muchisimas gracias Josh!! Tu comentario significa mucho para mi..espero que lo sepas..
Deleteun abrazo fuerte.
I agree with carol, above - the skin is wonderful! Then I agree with Nelvia - the hair is "just super.' And all on my own...I admire the ear... they are not easy to look natural and yours sure is....amazing job, Hilda.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Julie. I appreciate your very generous comment. When I started to paint the ear I thought it would be nice to paint it loosely!! This is loose..lol
DeleteHi, Hilda, your work gets better, more sophisticated and more elegant than ever. No surprise the model's parents want to purchase it. It's always lovely to see art work find new nice home. Best wishes, Sadami
