The Portrait Challenge Revealed!

As some of you may know, I was involved in Karin Jurick's portrait challenge for the last three weeks. There were 130 artists wishing to try their hand at painting another artist. Karin drew names and matched each of us up with an unknown person, only to be revealed when the portraits were posted on Karin's Different Strokes from Different Folks blog.

Please visit Victoria Culbertson's blog to view my portrait. You can revisit the portrait I did of her on December 22 on this blog. You need to know how much it looks like me! Hopefully we will be trading with one another.

BE sure to visit the DSFDF blog to see ALL the different and talented art there. This was a very enjoyable event and though I was hesitant in the beginning, I was glad I participated.

Pattie, I have loved your portrait you painted from the first day it posted. The blue in the hair and the way it accentuates those eyes and just the feeling of the whole piece... it is just calming to look at it. Fantastic job!! Also, these animals you have painted are PRECIOUS, especially the dachsunds!
