Wonderful portrait, Heather.

That is excellent!

Wow! I'm impressed that you have been painting this well for only two years of practicing! Amazing!

Fabulous looks so real 😉

An excellent portrait - the snow on her hat is amazing!

Certainly looks like you are very experienced. Love everything about it Heather.

Amazing portrait Heather! The texture and snow on her hat is wonderful!

Thanks so much everyone - it's great to get feedback - happy Xmas to all!

Nice portrait great colour blending especially as it done in Acrylic.

Excellent painting Heather, so life like.

That’s a splendid portrait especially love the way you handled that snow on the hat

Beautiful feel from this work Heather.... thumbs up!! Great ability can be seen here after only a short time!! Well done indeed. Looked through all your work and the standard is excellent in my opinion! Keep up the good work Heather.

Thanks Des, much appreciated, thank you for taking the time to view my gallery. Progress is slow and sometimes painful!

Thanks for the kind comments Heather your work is stunning

Wow this is amazing. It's so lifelike. You certainly know how to use your paints, outstanding.

Thank you once again for everyone who has recently commented.

There is so much to like in this portrait: the different brushwork differentiating hair from collar; the flakes of snow gently resting on hat and coat and the delight in the young woman's face. I would have been over the moon to have painted this!

Thank you Mark, really appreciate it. Really like your work too - you achieve great compositions with an intuitive understanding of your subjects; much to envy on my part.

Phew, so, so good!

Lovely portrait and you have captured the sharp cold so well.

Excellent portrait Heather

Thank you Michael, Peter, David and Dorothy for your latest comments - it really is lovely to have such nice and constructive things said.

Again another Absolute cracker...

This is fantastic! Your gallery shows such wonderful portrait work. You are very talented Heather, keep enjoying the process and the journey.

Thank you Nancy and Alan - really appreciate your comments.

This is the portrait I really like for it's realism. Excellent! My apologies, as earlier I sent you an email in error, thinking it was how comments were posted! I've managed to work the system out now.

Thank you Kevin!

Hard to believe you are a beginner Heather !!

Thank you Peter - your work is fabulous so a great compliment.

Wow, so much detail, gorgeous, realistic.

This is superb, Heather! God bless, Andy

Exceptional and brilliantly executed. You are naturally gifted. You should try oils too, to speed up drying time you can use additives (Sikitive or Liquin)

You have a really good painting too !!!

Striking portrait, like the contrast between light and dark. Pleased that you liked J J Gittes. Adam

Awesome portrait. Snow on the hat looks like you could touch it and it would melt.

A very professional portrait by any standards, I like everything about this painting, I thought where have I seen this before and of course it was Patchings, belated congratulations

Beautiful, such talent.

Beautiful painting - so realistic! Love it.

This is amazing Heather, so clever, great painting.

Fantastic portrait and belated congratulations on being selected for exhibition with it! :-)

I love the expression of snows that look real.

Hadn't seen this one previously Heather. Such brilliant painting of the eyes. Fabulous.

Really nice Portrait Heather.

Have you considered applying for Portrait Artist of the Year?

I really like the vivid colors you achieved with her hat and coat. So beautiful portrait!

Absolutely beautiful light and the snow on the hat is amazing X

Excellent !!!Heather, your work is amazing, i can't believe you only started painting a few years ago, you have natural talent! Heather you are so positive and always very kind with your comments.Thank you., lovely lady.

Just having a look back...this is incredible, especially how you have done the snow on her hat!

Fabulous!

Very evocative. You can feel the cold. Snowflakes are very lightly treated. Beautiful eyes: Almost photographic.

Wow. So amazing. It’s so realistic. The snow is incredible!

I really like this portrait, it is so accurate, and real. You call yourself a beginner ??

your people portraits are stunning. If this is what you are doing after 3.5 years then I can't wait to see your work in the future!

Superb portrait - one can feel the snow. (I don't know how to thank you for your kind comment on my page, so I do it here.)

Another very successful portrait Heather.

This is superb Heather. I also love the snow on the hat.

Love it.

good attention to detail in this one

Stunning painting. Looks so realistic. So clever 😍

This really is a "wow" painting! Just fabulous

the character of your subject and the coldness of the weather are brilliantly realised in this painting Heather!

Your work with the snow is brilliant.

I can feel the cold! It IS ice!

Totally love it, flesh tones are brilliant, she really does look cold!

Wow. This is so realistic. I love everything about it. The texture of the hat in particular is fantastic.

I agree - the snow on the hat looks so real.

I actually felt the room temp change when I looked at this piece, fantastic

Wow. It looks like a photograph. I love everything about this. I don't know where to start. Beautiful skin tone. The hat and snow are excellent. The fur...I just love this. Well done Heather 😀😀😀

This is a really good portrait, I do like the snow effect on the hat!

Excellent capture Heather ;0)

A late comment, I know, but, this is not the work of a beginner. Heather has vividly captured the persons features – very atmospheric. On my computer screen the snow flakes look real!

Beautiful! I love how the contrasting colours got my attention so quickly.

A terrific portrait Heather - do you give lessons ?

I saw this at TALP.. very nice. The snow really sells it.

LOVE THE SNOW EFFECTS, VERY GOOD PORTRAIT

About the Artist

I started to paint in 2018 . I started with acrylics and now use only oils and mainly canvas on board. Most of my portraits are 38 cms x 60 cms or thereabouts. Am still on a big learning curve but really enjoying the process and discovering new techniques very step of the way! I go to art class…
