Christine

You have made my day! I am tickled to receive compliments on the pose because it is just what I "saw" when Christine was sitting for me. I think she is very pretty in a classic sense so I wanted a classic pose. This is the first portrait I have done from conceptualizing what I wanted, to setting up the photo shoot (after two failed shoots!!), to the final portrait (after six drawings!!).

Nice job Patricia,

Those final dark touches did the trick. They also bring you more true to the direction of the light.

Thank you Mike and Michele! I began the second portrait, Christine's husband, my son Kristopher. I am pretty excited about this project and hope I finish up with a PAIR of nice portraits.

I'm sure to be posting in critiques soon. . .

Have a great weekend and thank you so much for your thumbs up!!
