Has a lovely luminosity Linda

Great job Linda, and worth the perseverance!

Thank you so much Heather for your kind comments.

Thank you Alan, for your help along the way.

Lovely to see the finished painting. Great light on her face and shirt.

You got there Linda! Agree with Heather, she "glows".

Thank you Marjorie for your help along the way and your kind comments. Thank you Christine for taking the time to comment.

She sure was a pretty lady, you have done her justice Linda. Beautiful.

Thank you Denise. Yes she was a very attractive woman. I met her in her 50’s and I thought that she looked about 35!

Your tenacity has paid off Linda, a fabulous, glamorous painting.

That's gorgeous, beautifully done eyes, lips , hair everything.

I like this very much. It captures the glamour of the old time movie stars.

Thank you so much, Lewis,Michael, Romila and Russell for your kind comments.

It’s brilliant Linda, love the light on her hair.

Absolutely superb. Well worth the effort put in.

Thank you so much Barry, Steve and Robert. Learning by trial and error pays off.

Been following your progress on the Forum. Well done, I like the languid look you have acheived.
