Smile, your on blogger!!

That would be the only thing I could imagine to say, ...

René, I even said that myself after it was finished because I had intended to give myself a bit more of a smile. But actually, then I thought it might have turned out too "smiley"...
Thank you!

Liza Hirst said...

Oops! Happy New Year to you, too, René!

Hi Liza,

Just a stunning portrait. You are so good. And clearly beautiful too.

Happy New Year.

The picture doesn't do you Justice.
Your sister, Pam

Liza Hirst said...

Thanks Pam! I think selfportraits often turn out looking serious because the artist is so concentrated on painting. I'll try it differently next time!

René PleinAir said...

Painting a self portrait with TWO mirrors is also a nice thing, ...

Just a thought.

Liza Hirst said...

How does that work?

Can't delete this spam comment.I
have tried it numerous times and in different ways, but always
come back to getting with error.
Does anybody know what to do? I would be thankful for help!
Thank you.
