I love the blue background that you chose, it really highlights the young lady's face. It's beautiful.
Strangely, the lady looks slightly familiar...... I may have just seen the painting before.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Oh wow bright... I love this portrait ..... strangely enough I do have a girlfriend here in the area whose name is 'Veronica' (spelled the same way too).. Also, she is an artist & an interior decorator, originally from Europe. A lot of talent in her family which she has passed on to her daughters, one in particular won a scholarship to study in Florence, Italy for a year! I must make a copy of yours & send it to her. I admire your talent so much... your portraits are so realistic!!

Thank you Rocket.......She is a beautiful woman and she had a wonderful loving spirit also. We were friends and when she moved from Atlanta we sort of lost touch. You are correct the human body is very difficult to paint I think but it is the most rewarding when you can get a "likeness" of the person. In my opinion.

Hello Salsa...glad that you like it. Veronica is not her real name I just used it as a title for the portrait. Thanks for saying realistic because my aim is to paint portraits as a realist artist.

At last one of your amazing works on display here, Brightsmile! Thank you so much for sharing. I am sure: it will one day find a place in one of the American museums to please the Art Lovers eyes.

A beautiful picture of a lovely lady, and I too love the blue background you gave her. Ann and I have seen many of your works of art and we have loved them all. Like Ann said, you are a very talented lady, brightsmile.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

That's a lovely portrait, Brightsmile. I've tried my hand at portraiture and am always surprised by the tiniest unexpected stroke that catches the essence of the person.

Greetings Joannita...Thank you for the kind words and I would like to suggest if I may. You try painting. It is very therapeutic. If you are interested I can tell you how to start. Like your friend says.........when I paint I can forget all of my troubles and feel euphoriac. When I paint a portrait and get a great likeness of the person its almost better than sex.....lol. I hope that you will try it.

You have talent to create such a close likeness. When I attempt to do art form. it look like DaDa or Cubists Art .
