My family love the movie Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O’hara. So, the last time we watched it I decided to do some portraits. These are my first two.

Can’t stop blinking fast. They are gorgeous! The paper colors really enhance the portraits.
What kind of paper did you use?

Great job! Love them both.
Very great likeness of both. I’m impressed as usual.
Oh my goodness Ginny! These portraits are fabulous. I missed seeing your art in here.

Wow Ginny,
These are amazing. I am still very shy about trying portraits.
Beautifully done, wonderful expressions and details.

Thanks, Denise, I appreciate it.
Thank you. It was a struggle. LOL!
Thank you, Patricia. Life happened and we moved from Central Florida to Alabama. I hope this is my last move. I am getting to old for this stuff. LOL!
Teri, I understand. But, taking Matt’s courses will help so much. Thanks for your comment. I hope so see some portraits from you, soon.
Thanks Ginny,
I do have a couple of colored ink artworks I just posted recently if you want to take a look.

Hello Ginny,
Thank you for taking a look at my artwork. I have been really enjoying working with colored inks so lately that is what I have posted except for live lessons, etc. I hope that you enjoy these.
