Grace

Next friend portrait: Kaitlin.

I called this one "Grace" because Kaitlin is just so....graceful, elegant and classy. I loved painting this one and playing with the colors. Although I feel that the face lost some of its "Kaitlin-ness" somewhere along the way, I like the mood. I also am pretty proud of the hair.

And a close up, although the above images can be clicked-upon for better views.

RACHEL! I am so incredibly touched. I really don't even know what to say or how to thank you. I'm so moved by your portrait and the way you see me. I'm humbled by the qualities you see in me, though I could very much say the same of you my dear. I was actually hoping you might choose to tackle my portrait after seeing what you created for Martha. :) Honestly Rachel, I'm so touched. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you! Love and miss you dear!
