Thank you Jaime. I really appreciate your comments. Yes I do especially love doing faces as I feel the humanity and emotion in everyone’s face and I empathize with their emotions. Light defines everything we see so how could I not make it an integral part of my paintings.

Thanks you so much Bernadette for your supportive and uplifting comments. I do adore painting people if all kinds and am especially drawn to their faces, hands and even their feet. So much fun to paint. As an added bonus I love getting to know different people.

In addition to her extraordinary skills, she captures the most incredible light that draws viewers in. It’s clear from her work that a deep part of herself is part of every portrait.

Sharing our artistic paths (from graphic work to pastel painting) makes it even more special today. Showing your process is so important. The postings from beginning to completion helps far more than words can explain. Your technique in drawing your hands are divine and you create moods that feel special…(and at times tasty🌷) Love all your art!!!
