Acrylic on 11" x 14" gallery wrap canvas. This is from a photo of a friend who recently passed away - I painted it for her husband and am quite pleased with the result. The skin looks a bit pinker than it was painted - my photography skills need help ! I loved painting this one and was able to finish it in just 2 days. Still learning how to do portraits and loving it !

Maddy this is great as are the rest of your recent portraits. I like the one of your hubby too.

I've not visited lately due to a very sick computer. Thanks for your comments on my paintings.
