MY FAVORITE SO FAR

 Of all the paintings I’ve done in the Sktchy challenge of painting 30 portraits in 30 days, this is my favorite so far..

Oh I really like this one Rhonda...the mix of colors is just perfect. Hope you are having a super May. Seen where you saw the Borealis lights. I didn't capture them on camera but did see how they were light in the sky. Think that lots of folks captured them on night mode on camera. Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. Hugs!

I can see why, it's beautiful. As well as being one of your subjects...a mermaid, a redhead and a strong looking character. There is a gorgeous flow to her hair and the submerged part of her is so believable and you have made it look effortless.

Oh yes, I love this one too! The blue/orange palette, the composition, but mostly the contemplative feeling!

Thanks so much, Debbie, Lisa and Laura! I’m glad you like this one, too. Something about the mermaid-like feeling about it caught my eye and I really wanted to paint this one. Still added some white gel/ink pen to pick out some whites but I don’t mind that. I have become someone who uses whatever to get to the end (I used to tear up a lot because I’d lost the whites!).
