This is a stunning portrait, so natural, perfectly proportioned, and the use of colour in providing movement is amazing. I love it.

Beatiful portrait the light is really nice and I like the blue of the eyes mirrored in the sleeve it really works well but is also very subtle
Les Smutz replied
Thank you so much, Deborah. I appreciate your perceptive comments. This is one of my favorite portrait paintings, though the digital image doesn’t really capture the true colors, I was really happy with the way the skin tones came out. I did a series of photos while it was in progress with the hope that I might publish my methods some day.

Thanks, Brian. Janie had great features as a model. I was determined to get her images right. I have one more photo of her that I want to paint some day.
