Something about the way you painted your artist is so whimsical and enchanting. Love it.

I have so enjoyed visiting your portraits and really look forward to those that have not been posted, yet.<br /><br />I'm so glad Karin chose to do the portrait exchange again, I had lots of fun with it last year and could not wait to get this year's photo. As I said in my original post, this photo because of its exaggeration/distortion intimidated me in a very big way. As with all of Karin's DSFDF images, usually they are not something I would choose to paint, but she sure does get me (and us) out of our comfort zone(s)...and I am thrilled to be pushed because I certainly don't push myself near enough. <br /><br />Daniel, thank you for identifying yourself, I had no idea who you were, and thanks for the fun picture. I'm looking forward to seeing your interpretation of me! <br />:-)Angela Elledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205506808110111084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636603962812715286.post-17507408795837537162009-12-20T08:04:31.396-06:002009-12-20T08:04:31.396-06:00Hi Angela - this is great; design, cropping, brush...Hi Angela - this is great; design, cropping, brushstrokes, everything!
