In reply to Darwood Grace. Yup, blending doesn't have to happen to get a blended look! And Darwood, how cool you know Arnold

Still amazed that Lynn doesn’t blend. Wow. Great seeing the portrait of my friend Arnold too. Recognised him straight away.

In reply to Abraham. Thanks so much Abraham! I'm glad Stephie's story resonated with you and you could see all the similarities with your own story.

In reply to Gareth Jones. Gareth thanks so much for your appreciative comment! It's certainly a treat, as you say, to have so many of Lynn's portraits here under the HowToPastel roof. And how interesting about the similar path you both took. I'll just pop your guest blog in here for those who may be interested in reading and seeing it.

What a great article from such a talented artist and a special person! Lynn’s work always stands out and her versatility amazes me with her breadth of subject matter. It’s so good to see this varied collection of portraits of such a high standard in one place.
Lynn’s path to fine art is a familiar one for me with so many similarities, so it’s an equally absorbing read as well as a visual feast!
Thank you Gail and Lynn!

In reply to Wendy Prest. Thanks for the reminder that Lynn was one of the HowToPastel Facebook group's first administrators. How lovely that you remember that Weendy! And yes, it's quite amazing to discover the short journey Lynn has had using soft pastels. So glad your enjoyed hearing Lynn's story Wendy :-)
