This is my portrait for the end of the year challenge, on Karin Jurick's blog, "Different Strokes from Different Folks." We were all asked to send in a photo of ourselves, then Karin paired us up with another artist who would be doing our portrait. I was quite nervous about it because it is the first time I have done a portrait of someone who would actually see the painting. In the past couple of years, I have done a couple of small portraits based on photos I liked, but this was different. I was lucky enough to end up with this lovely lady, with the Mona Lisa smile. I hope she likes it.
Now I know that this is Theresa Rankin. It was a pleasure to paint her.
Here is my portrait, painted by, Theresa Rankin, a terrific painter, who did a wonderful job with this. I really like it. Thank you Theresa.

Beautiful painting Bill. It has very soft and warm feel that I am sure this lovely gal is going to love.
Great feel.
I love her modest smile...it came out wonderful!
Ahh that's a dear friend Theresa Rankin! You've done a nice job Bill!
Bill, you pulled a great one to paint! Theresa really is a Mona Lisa, a fabulous artist (and anything else she puts her mind to)...and is also a great teacher!

Thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comment.
Hi Bill, your painting of Theresa is lovely, so feminine and gentle, glorious. And yours depicts you just as I see you, a gentleman, in every sense.
Thanks for following my blog, now that gives me a buzz!
