The girl with the black hat

I love taking my granddaughter to the mall.. not sure how she feels about it because she knows that it always turns into a photo shoot...lol.   I love the Hat Department!  So many hats so many colors!!   She has always been such a good model so I think I'll keep her for awhile.

    So good ... a lovely portrait. The hair is particularly gorgeously out-this-world brilliant. So good, Hilda.

    Hope the storm didn't get up as far as you.

      Thank you so much John! I had a lot of fun painting the hair.. I'm so glad you liked her. We didn't get any signs of the storm here in N.Y.... Very happy about that...but sad for the people who did.

    Did you ever get into wearing hats? I like to paint them and am envious of those who wear them, but never got into them. She turned out just lovely and as always I am in awe of your skin tones. Super work Hilda.

    Bonjour ma chère amie,

    J'espère que tu me pardonneras pour mon absence... Je suis très heureuse de découvrir cette dernière oeuvre.
    Je la trouve fantastique. Quelle jolie modèle ! Je suis une fan de chapeaux ! J'en achète toujours ! J'en possède un grand nombre mais j'aime ça !
    J'aime la fraîcheur que tu as su merveilleusement traduire dans ce portrait.
    Magnifique travail !

    Je te fais de gros bisous de Portland

    I'm sorry I have not been in touch with you for some time now my friend, but I have had trouble with my laptop. It got mugged. What a virus though. This portrait is fantastic Hilda. All your portraits are fantastic, but this one is fantastic, fantastic. Brilliant. All the best Hilda.
