Hey guys,
Sorry I have been around much. I have been super busy trying to get some new work together for a show in June.
I did manage to get this portrait done. Got great reviews when I delivered it.
After hearing a lot of input and suggestions, I am planning to have a booth at the big wedding fair, also in June. I'm going to try and get a few more bridal portraits done before then, so stay tuned for some more paintings.

That's nice. Although it is a formal portrait her personality comes through.
