I&AJ by Valia VALIA.US

Hi Valia, I love this portrait painting, so strong, yet so gentle, perfect.

Thank you, Norman! I really appreciate your comment, because am very excited about my new created technique, and am working really very hard on it. Happy painting to you!

This is really gorgeous, smashing eyes, I love it.

Interesting combination of media, works very well, lovely gentle portrait.

Yes, a very lovely portrait. You have achieved a very soft technique with the media. Beautiful skin tones.

Agree with the above - a beautiful portrait which I'm sure will be treasured.

The colours are so well choosen, there is so much tenderness and softness. A portrait is always A1 when the eyes speak to me and they surely do. Brilliant work Valia,

A lively portrait, well done.

Thank you everyone - I really very much appreciate your comments, and am starting to feel more confident about the technique. I did not expect that so many and so great artists will like it. Maybe I should now just have a cup of coffee with chocolate, and finally relax, because I was stubbornly working on this technique since last summer. Thank you again, and happy painting everyone!

Valia - this is truly wonderful!! The gentleness in the faces of these two children is just magic! I think your own unique technique is paying off - with super, super results. I think you must be very, very proud of your achievement, and celebrate your success with that chocolate coffee - or two! Be proud, my friend, Sarah.

Thank you, Sarah, for all your kind words and support - Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Norman, Karleen, Carol, Jeannette, Julia, Beatrice, and Robert! Be blessed!
