Portrait detail (Title to be announced)
Acrylic on canvas

I have been working for the past while on a commissionthat's been a pure pleasure. I'm a firm believer in showing
my clients completed work, so it stays under wraps until the
reveal.
Imagine my thrill on bringing the client in to see the
painting today, and realizing that I've not only created
a painting, but it's made someone's day, and will
add to the family's story.
I decided to give you the painting one face at a time
for the next three days, and reveal it in its entirety on
Thursday. So set your watches, program your calendars,
watch this space, and enjoy how the whole thing comes
together. I know I did.
Have a bringing-more-happiness-into-the-world day.

Really stunning, Barbara. You always elicit and capture a radiance and joy in your sitters. And what a beautiful sweet-looking woman.
Here, I especially love (and I noticed since I always have such a hard time with it!) the underside of the nose!
Hi Laura,
I'm sure she'd be delighted to be called a woman as she's 13. (And a half -- sorry), but she is a young woman.
I'm delighted that you like it. I hope you'll check out the whole painting on Thursday.
Love your work.
XOXO Barbara
