Goodmorning, I'm Rosie. I've been hidding behind the monitor all summer...try'n to get up the nerve to step out....well, what the heck....hi!

Self-taught artist, I work in just about anything except watercolors...just never liked them.  There is not a day that passes where I am not drawing something.  I did some murals for my Cardiologist 2 years back and he commissioned me to do portraits of himself and his father...he is a very detailed oriented man and I had feelings of terror attempting these paintings, the first one is done and shipped off.

Please give some of your comments to me, I'm about to set off on the next portrait...which is going to be more difficult due to the reference being a mimio-graph of a 40 year old photo...(it's blue)...Dr. says "he's the same color as me, I trust you, why do you doubt yourself?"   aurgh!.

Thank-you for your time and hope to get more paintings done to share.

Rosie, this is great! You've done an excellent job! I think you should put your jitters aside and start the next one. I can't wait to see it and more.

Very nice work Rosie.
Portrait work is not easy. You definitely have the talent
to go places with your work.

I saw this after I commented on a later version of the work's progression. Let me extend a proper welcome... And why on eath were you hidding and dubting your work? Excelsior!
