Hello there, I painted this a few days ago, oil on a 11 X 14 canvas panel. The image is from a renaissance festival I think. I liked the way she is looking off to the side and I wanted her eyes to be the focus. I hope it looks as if the light is hitting her eyes, I tried to get that effect with brighter lights. If you haven't yet discovered Ustream I would highly recommend it. It is a live streaming network with several excellent painting shows. David Darrow and Susan Carlin are both wonderful portrait painters and the list goes on. Have a great day!

This is one of my favourites! She's gorgeous. And you caught her eyes perfectly.
Thank you so much Liz, always nice to read your comments. :)
You did get a very natural look to the eyes on this piece. I also like the hair on the Tuesday painting.
Nice work on the eyes, that little shadow from the eyelid is so important too, and you did a great job!
The eyes are definitely the windows to the soul! It is an amazing feat when you can capture the spirit of a person.
Thanks so much Bill, I appreciate how often you check in on me.
Hey there Pattie, you do such a great job on portraits, I'm glad you think I did well with this one.
Hi Anita, Nice to have you visit. Always love your comments. I hope things are well with you.
She is a pixie, you have captured with your brush. Great work, Barb.
She does look like a pixie Bill, lol. So nice to have you stop by :)
