I'm so glad you posted this in your own thread - it deserves its own kudos! What I love about this is it's artistry - the unfinished bits, the sensitivity of line, and what you said - the playfulness of the lines.

I wish I could draw like this.

Thank you Cindy. As portrait artists we should carve out fun time, you never know what might result. While on vacation I did sketches of my granddaughter on the beach, and it was a delightful experience. Of course she is now, my muse and I already have a image of her ready to paint! It only took 300 photos to get the perfect one! I will post in photo ref soon.

thanks again
Patty

It is a beautiful sensitive piece! I too, love the contrast in how you handled the hair and face...

I loved this one. This is great!

I appreciate your comments very much!

I really like this one, Patty. She has such a sweet, gentle expression on her face. You've really captured the tilt of her head. It's good to see you back on the forum. Hope you'll be around more.

Oh, Pat, I love this! Those lines in her hair are so sharp and sure and descriptive. Her face is all the softer by comparison. Just curious--do clients really prefer the more "finishd" style to this, or are you reluctant to test out their reaction?
