Emmie

My portrait studies continue and I am encouraged to be seeing progress! This portrait is of Emmie, a very strikingly beautiful woman that I have been wanting to paint for a long time. When the scheduled model didn't arrive, Emmie agree to sit for us. I was elated!
I feel so fortunate to have so many good artists as friends, teachers and mentors. It is so important to keep one another encouraged, motivated and challenged. I treasure each and every one of them and each and every one of YOU who share this journey with me!

    Enjoyed very much viewing "Emmie", and ditto your comment on seeing progress. For myself, I feel like it is a lifelong journey and the times when I can see progress are wonderful! Congrats.
