Shelley's Portrait

Sorry about the glare.  The portrait isn't completely dry.


This summer I took a wonderful portrait class with Annabelle DeCamillis.  She's my art teacher's daughter and a college student.  Please click on the link above to visit Annabelle's website.

I can't wait to take Annabelle's class next summer.  I enjoyed it so much I'm starting a series of portraits of literary heroines.  

Until next time...

Blessings!

    This is wonderful!

    Taking classes is such fun and good therapy.

    I am signed up for a class in 2 weeks. It is just a felting class (a black cat and a pumpkin), but I have always wanted to learn felting. I want to make a mouse.

    Ricki Jill, this is an amazing piece. I can't imagine that painting a portrait is an easy thing. Bravo! I'm sure Shelley is thrilled with her portrait. Can't wait to see the others you are working on.

    RJ, this is incredible! Your daughter's portrait by her mom. Priceless. She is lovely and you certainly are talented painting faces which I know is hard to do. I'm looking forward to your series of your portraits.
