Hi, Lesley – very interesting to see your progression on this portrait. I like the way you captured a sparkle in her eye and the strong, vibrant colors. Nice blog site, too! Thanks

Thanks everyone, for the nice comments. Whew, this project had me on pins and needles, so it’s a relief to be past the point of the big “reveal.” Sally, I just posted on your blog, and I will also add here that I’m totally blown away by your depiction of me. I love it!

What a wonderfully fun painting! Terrific technique, thx. for the step by step. I’m enjoying your blog… nifty how you’ve combined images, close up along with the whole painting.

Really cool painting Leslie, very dramatic and not too anything. Indeed a beautiful young lady and I’m sure she will be thrilled with this. Loved the process and picked up a couple of valuable pointers. Thanks

Hi Lesley, this portrait is so full of color and you DID capture a real mood on this persons face, one of vivaciousness! I think your WIP sequence is so informational, especially for someone who doesn’t do acrylic too much. You wowed us!
