Thanks. I'll see if I can find the photo it was from.
The painting was a good likeness but a bit sombre. I like dramatic, Spanish realism. Dark backgrounds and heavy contrast.
Portraits are so hard because even if you think you've nailed it the subject may think quite the opposite.

yeah, it's hard to recreate the same feeling. It may physically look the same, but the mood can be very different.

Hey, even if it doesn't look anything like your niece, doesn't matter because you've succeeded quite enough if it looks like a person regardless of the reference.

They HATED it?! Pfft, I think they're just jealous. Your use of colors are awesome. You do an amazing job at bringing the subject to life. Do you sell your paintings?
