I painted a portrait of my great grandaughter, Serenity, and entered it in the South Lake Art League's Spring Art Show. I won a 3rd place ribbon! The judge loved the "attitude" of that little girl, and she also liked how I carried the purple of the background into her face. Now, you probably can't see any purple in her face, but, believe me, that reflected light is there.
I have studied with Valerie Stewart and her portrait painting methods for the past 5 years, and this year, I completed her certification course. I am now officially certified to teach portraits using the Valerie Stewart method. Thanks, Valerie, for getting me to this point in my career.
