Portrait of my wife by Michael Masson

What a lovely portrait Michael. Smiles are notoriously difficult to paint but her smile lights up the whole page and I love th3 flower in the hair.

Wonderful work on her features Michael and great teeth

Thank you Carole, I find smiles a real challenge

Thank you Frank. The teeth were difficult, on the first attempt it made her look goofy.

Excellent and what a lovely lady she looks, painted with love I can tell

What fine work. An uplifting happy painting.

Great portrait, well painted Michael.

A delightful painting Michael. A beautiful portrait and a lovely smile

Beautifully done, a very difficult portrait with that lovely smile , but so well executed.

Thank you for all your comments. I must admit that I tend to avoid painting smiles because it’s so easy to get it wrong so I’m delighted this worked out (after a couple of goes I should add).

Beautifully painted
