The Bride


Watercolor, 8" x 10". I mentioned I was working on portraits. Inspired by Karin Jurick's end of the year portrait challenge no doubt. This painting of myself on my wedding day is my latest attempt. Its hard painting yourself because Im not sure anyone has a firm grasp on how they really look, and Im not 100% satisfied with it. But again, it was time to stop fiddling with it for now.

    I think you have accomplished the goal of conveying a joyous feeling in your portrait. I, too, am working on portraiture and it's tough!! keep up the good work.

Portrait Challenge

Watercolor, 8" x 10". This months challenge on Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Strokes website is always fun. Everyone exchanges photos and you simply paint whoever you get. So, I have no idea who this is, and she has received my photo to paint- not knowing who I am. I know she has gorgeous blue eyes, though! Check out all the amazing portraits!
