Here is a progression of the latest portrait I completed. Unlike most of my portraits , this was done in acrylics. Working on it has given me a nice boost and a desire to paint more portraits. It is strange to me how i seem to forget how happy painting them makes me , until i paint another one and i am in heaven.

While i was working on it , my mom came over and was startled by him(she is a jumpy one, that mom of mine haha!)I assured her he is a stand up guy. He has a real talent for making me smile and laugh. Plus he has done some of my most complimented tattoos on me.

Hi Jeanette, I am James's Mom. I work in Germany and I am really enjoying looking at your photographs and portrait of James. It is wonderful. I just wanted to thank you. There's a lot of James's Dad in your portrait, as well as I can see myself too. You really captured his spirit. The photo of him holding the portrait is really priceless too. Thanks again. I hope to see more of your work. Have a great day. Jean (Marlowe)Santa Maria
What a serious honor you have given me by leaving such a lovely comment. I just love James to death. Your son literally makes me laugh myself into a headache every time i see the guy. He was easy to work with and such a great model! I am so glad that you see so much more than I would have been aware of. I loved to read it. I'm so happy it is mother approved :-)
That means a lot to me. Thanks again, Jean!
