“Painting gives me pleasure and accomplishment in creating something....but to see the pleasure it brings someone else, to see them love the painting is the most fulfilling and wonderful compliment a painter can have.... It is a high and I feel I added value to someone life.”

“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.” ― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

I felt this way with Danica's portrait. She is so beautiful that I just went ahead and had fun with different textures, prints, brush strokes and colors.
