Robin, oil 16 x 20 |
Robin's smile must be missed every day. Every time I paint a portrait I feel as though I've gotten to know the person I've painted... I spent so many hours looking into her eyes, I felt privileged to have been smiled at like that.
My love to Robin's family.

That is really beautiful, Susan. I love painting portraits also, in watercolor. And you are right, that smile is amazing.
An amazing portrait and the story made me cry. The incredible thing about being a portrait painter is the ability to capture life on canvas, or in a drawing. This woman is so warm, and your portrait absolutely spectacular.

It is so good to see your work again. It seems you are so busy with your painting and gallery that you haven't had as much time to blog.
I always love seeing what you've created!
This is a very nice portrait of Robin, and I have enjoyed being able to see two more of your recordings again. I really missed them.
Busy or not, you are worth waiting for. I know many of us enjoy your personal presence while painting. I now am caught-up with most of your recordings. I have laughed with you all at so many of your comments. You have made many of my evenings so enjoyable. I respect you and your art! Thank you and your friends for being there!

This portrait turned out beautifully, Susan. I like how you handled the clothes... the colors suit her very well.
PS I believe in 2nd chances!!!LOL
Really well put, about having spent hours looking into her eyes. What an experience! (Nice job on the portrait, too*)
Thank you, Sweet Artists! I appreciate your kind comments so much.
fantastic
Portrait art is so personal and this story very touching. What a privilege as a gifted artist to create this for a mourning family. Well done.
This reminds me how as artists we can touch humanity.
