I don't know why, but this picture feels like home ... it makes me happy and wistful at the same time.
I love it how you show the freckels, wrinkels and the hair. Like I could touch those ladies, like they are really there behind the display.
It's amazing.

I adore this one. Reminds me of my grandma and her sister-in-law. They used to huddle together like that and visit

I absolutely love this painting! It reminds me so much of myself and my best friend. No matter how old we get, we always have something to talk about.

You've captured the emotion perfectly. After reading the description I think it really portrays this. I've been thinking of trying a portrait in oil. Do you let the paint dry much in between or does it help with blending if you don't?

Thanks for your comment. I paint slowly and detailed in thin layers and by the time I have finished a certain area the other section is usually dry. The problem arises when the paint becomes tacky (nearly dry) and you cannot blend, then you do need to wait for it to dry. If you work thin is doesnt take long, a day or two, depends on the weather or how much white is used. (some colours dry faster than others) Hope that helps
