A wonderful piece, CJ. The light is exceptional and models her portrait nicely. Taking the portrait in her own environment with apron and painting background worked really well to divulge some of her character. While the portrait has a somewhat formal feel in overall composition and expression, there's plenty of subtle details which relax the formality. I ramble, suppose I should just say "Congrats". -Michael

Thanks everyone, for the kind words! Liz is a local artist who paints mainly in the abstract style you see in her painting here. She also taught art for many years and displays and organizes art shows in local galleries. CJ

Yes, I especially like the idea of a painter with her painting, in progress, in the background. Well seen! Best Wishes, Traveller
