This is Victoria... another beautiful model from my Long Island Portrait group that meets every Friday. The perfect pose that we always look for. I hope you like her.....
Awwww! thank you so much Chris.. I think we all do...We all paint so differently from one another with different mediums and its always such a pleasure seeing everyone's work.
It seems to be we are all in agreement that you are awesome at painting portraits. Yes, the hair is always spot on. I hope you are enjoying the summer weather, too.
You managed to capture a lovely expression in her eyes and I agree with everyone ...the way you did her hair is amazing. Always a pleasure to visit your blog.
Thank you so much for your visit Sadami. You're very kind. It was a pleasure visiting your blog... Your watercolors are amazing. Have a wonderful Evening.
So fun catching up with your lovely portrait work. I am amazed at your work. You make it look easy. I also loved your happy accident waterfall oil painting. Super!
thank you so much Carol for stopping by to comment.. SO appreciated and so happy you like her. she was a pleasure to paint! Enjoy the rest of the Evening...
Hilda...she is indeed a lovely lady. She looks warm and friendly and happy! Your painting is marvelous! I love the dark blonde area by her face on her left side. Her skin colors and hair together just glow!!! You are certainly a master of making skin look so fresh and beautiful.
Thank you so much Carol.. You always make my day with your comments!! I enjoyed painting her hair...adding all the layers of pastels was wonderful because I added so many colors to her hair... I hope you have a wonderful evening...

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND. Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

My name is Hilda Muxo Klinger. My passion for art came early.I have always said that I was born with a pencil in one hand and a box of crayons in the other.I am a Bronx born New Yorker who can remember sitting at the kitchen table copying faces that appeared in the newspapers and magazines as a girl.
I am married 53 years and have two daughters and five amazing grandchildren.While I worked and raised my family in East Rockaway, I used art as a form of relaxation, painting here and there. I dabbled with several artistic mediums through the years—everything from pencil to charcoal to oil and it was only after I joined The Parish Social Ministry Art Club in East Rockaway in 2006 that I realized my true passion of pastels.
I studied under Dan Slapo and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a class more than I did with him. He taught me many different techniques in painting a portrait. Working with a live model was so different for me and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with this Master of Pastels...He encouraged me to join the Pastel Society and I am now an Associate Member . I am thrilled to say that I have displayed my paintings in Rockville Center Village Art Club and have received several ribbons for my work. Thank you for visiting my blog. I will continue to add my painting in the future and hope you enjoy them as I have enjoyed painting them.
