Portraits

Last Tuesday my friend, Laurie posed for our portrait group...and this looks nothing like her except for her hair. lol Well, maybe the chin and neck too. 


When I finished the portrait above I did a quick sketch of two of the other artists...Kathy is on the left and Anne is on the right.


Every Day in May - May 3rd - curtains

  2. I bet I'd recognize Laurie in a crowd........! But unfortunately I'd probably not remember her name. I'd think, "gee she looks familiar." I'm sure you captured an essence of her.

  4. Dear Joan - I think your portrait of your friend looks wonderful. Loved the other one of Kathy and Anne too. As for the curtains - super job. Your shadows in the folds really make them real. Take care and have fun with this challenge. Hugs!
