So...Hi Eldon,<br /><br />This lady is a happy, superb mother.<br />So it's no challenge at all to get that into her face. Now getting the face to be exactly her face, that's another matter! Thank you as always for being a huge supporter of my work. You have made my day. Again.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-37365138694634492572010-03-07T09:55:49.910-08:002010-03-07T09:55:49.910-08:00Hi Liza,

It's probably because I am looking at your work all the time, loving it, and learning from it.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-30390054604923600422010-03-07T09:54:18.524-08:002010-03-07T09:54:18.524-08:00Hi Janet,
Sometimes when you're working on a ...Hi Janet,<br /><br />Sometimes when you're working on a piece it takes a dramatic turn into non-being, in effect it goes wrong. The next day you go back into the studio and haul it back from the brink. Over time you get to know that this will happen, it's not the end of the world, and all will be well. But the client, most often not a painter, doesn't know that, hasn't had the experience and doesn't deserve to suffer because I need to change something. The sitter gets to see the harmonious happy results that a confident artist has created. That's what I believe a client deserves.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-11932058052982416662010-03-07T08:11:22.989-08:002010-03-07T08:11:22.989-08:00You've painted such life into this ladies face...You've painted such life into this ladies face.

The colors of the background are also lovely, especially the blue on the left as a contrast. Can't help it, but I see a lot of sudden progress in your portraits!

The baby, as babies do, will seem much more grown up when I've finished the painting.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-43172892248861839342010-03-06T15:56:15.701-08:002010-03-06T15:56:15.701-08:00I am loving the seeing the step by step of this on...I am loving the seeing the step by step of this one.
