first time since I broke my ankle, saw her and
smiled. She is so spirited and lovely to
paint.

Whoa! How cool to see you paint. I hadn't realized the steps you go through to make your paintings. The bold color and bold brush strokes are beautiful. I hope you take more photos so I can see how you've finished. Amazing!

Thanks so much Eldon,
I will take more photos when I work
on the painting a bit more. I find it
tricky to complete a portrait without
reference -- and this model's face
was unique. But I'll give it a try.
