    I really like how effective this painting is in its simplicity – just the essence of the person with nothing to distract. Beautiful!

  • Stephie Butler replied

    Thank you Lora…Thats exactly what I was trying to achieve. Their was so much more in the ref photo, but to me it was about the lady herself, so was really unimportant…
