Nice work💝
Thank you!
I always love your work.. I always feel those faces going to walk into my room.. x
Oh, I love that notion Doron! Thank you:)
Pleasure and you deserve it, you make me smile 🙂 x
Another superb, soulful piece, Elena. It’s a joy every time I come here; each painting seems like a tutorial on capturing layers of personality and context, rich with beautiful color and textures. Sigh. Something I’ll never manage at such levels, but am enriched just by experiencing through your work. Thank you! 🙂
xoxo,
Kathryn
Oh my, Kathryn. I’ll never manage to do what you do. That’s what is so wonderful about blogging, so many different things to say and methods of expression. I very much appreciate your comment and support. Thank you:)
Flawless, Elena. You are an inspiration!
I’m humbled. Thanks ever so much Millie!
Her eyes are incredible.Wonderful work! 🙂
Much appreciated:)
Marvelous!
Thank you!
Your portraits are spectacular, Elena.
Thanks so much Carol!
Her freckles ad ear rings…oh my, Elena. You are spectacular. – Crystal
Thank you Crystal! The freckles made me a little crazy;)
Well, it played off. Stress well completed. 🙂
Beautiful as usual Elena. Great use of colour and expression.
Thanks very much, Ian.
yes, all of previous visitors said it already….
Thank you:)
turbulent roller caster of emotions all in one piece… your talent never ceases to amaze me! thank you 🙂
YOu are very kind:) Thanks very much!
Dear Elena, the portrait is absolutely stunning! You’ve worked so nice! Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing with us your work so beautiful!
Have a wonderful day! Big hugs, Ştefania & lt; 3 🙂
Many thanks, Stefania:)
Just one word: Stunning!
Thanks much, Uday!
Amazing! Another fantastic piece. Great facial expression, very realistic.
Thanks much Isabel.
this has got a nice feel to it 🙂
Thanks Joshi:)
Beautiful painting Elena!!!
Thank you!!!
hmm, I posted a comment here earlier today but don’t see it. I forget what I said, but after I wrote it I must have been too excited about your work and forgot to click on the post comment. 🙂 This is a fantastic piece.
THank you James. Not to worry. It’s happened to me too-positive that I left a comment only to find that maybe the click didn’t stick. Thanks so much for doubling back:)
Wonderful, Elena.
Thank you Jill!
Fantastic! Is this by any chance the same girl as in your header picture?
YES! A fine young artist, and one of my favorite models. You will probably be viewing her image again:)
Brilliant, Elena!! 🙂
Thank you Marina!:)
Wow, Elena, so much excellence to take in…the eyes, the lips, the slight upturn in the nose, the sweep of her hair, the skin tones, and the lovely diamond…all wonderful!
Thank you Marion!
Stunning expression on her face, and the way you framed it adds a kind of tension which makes this portrait so interesting.
robert
I did play with the crop many different ways to find the “right “one. Thanks so much Robert.
Absolutely gorgeous. The light is magical.
Thank you, Karen.
11″ x 14″ yet what a BIG impression she makes!
This series is an in between a couple of others, along with other reasons, I’m keeping it small. Thank you Amal:)
You invariably capture the eyes so well.
Thank you Louis.
Spectacular Elena! You create magic with your brushes – love this beautiful piece. Wonderful skin tones and the freckles – perfect!
Freckles are hard to paint:) Not thrilled with my rendering of them, but had to include them. Thanks so much Mary!
It’s managing all those little values, I would imagine – you the perfectionist would notice, but for me they are brilliant spots of beauty. To be able to paint a portrait – my dream to try one day. But for now I continue along my path.
Wow! Just amazing! So much personality. Maybe a little angst, because you know, young people. 🙂
It’s tough to be young! Thanks very much Cindy:)
How to tell her not to worry? A beautiful and pensive portrait Elena!
So true:). Thanks very much Patti!
Oh ! This is stunning.
Many thanks Susan!
🙂
A moment on the cusp – boredom, restlessness, uncertainty. Beautifully captured, Elena!
Thanks Richard!
Emotive and intimate, a fine piece of work!!
Thank you Arjun!
Such a wistful, pensive expression…..
Thank you:)
Lovely how you frame your portraits! It makes them have a personal touch! In this painting I specially like how you resolved her lips, and how her look maintains the spectator´s one.
Love your comment, Palmira. Thank you.
It’s a hard capture. Even with camera, I don’t think it is easy to
capture this tricky expression. Well done.
Thanks very much Yoshi.
You stun me, Elena!
How lovely. Thank you Steven!
Another fantastic work. Well done.
Many thanks KC!
great expression!
THanks Robin!
What an amazing expression. I can’t pin it down, and that’s thrilling!
What a great comment, thank you John!
I’m so glad I found your blog.
So lovely of you to say. Thank you:)
another gorgeous painting.
Thank you, Honey:)
Excellent… 😉
Many thanks, Drake!
