We receive our blessings as they are delivered and I accept this one with as much grace and appreciation as is available.

This is a great likeness in such a small size. I would suggest softening the blue in the background as it competes with the beautiful subject. I might also add a blush of color to her cheeks and lips.

WOW
 

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Heavens! I just discovered this thread. And I love it! You have made me look pretty good too. Some of the flaws must have dissolved between the original pixels.

You're the first person to ever paint me. To date, I haven't even gotten around to do a self portrait.

Thank you for such a charming surprise - you made my day!

Hello!

Thank you,
God! I'm quiets now!

Sincerely, Leslie

Karin:
You are here,
"Alive and kicking", who said that, a quiz for you. ;)
from sb.

Maybe you can tell me.:cool:

It is from Book "Sargent and Italy".
From Sargent's telegramme when rumored he is dead.
Now the last riddle from me:
There are 12 in total,
Everybody has one.

What is it?
Clue, something with Chinese.

Please tell me. I'm clueless.

SB,

Is it the Chinese astrological signs, rotating every 12 years? I think I'm a rat which occurs in 1936, 48, 60, etc. Also there is the Ox, Tiger, Snake, Monkey, Dragon, Ram and the yellow bellied sap sucker. Maybe not that last one.

Karin won the image.
Mike won the prize.
And Cynthia, of course,
won our applause.
