Thursday is Kick Ass Chick day

This is a portrait of Alex. It is a favorite of mine. Every color and brush stroke in this painting tells us about her. It accomplishes everything I was striving for with the portraits. Beauty, confidence her ease and grace, translate, to make this one breath. Yes, in case you were wondering she does have two different colored eyes. I never noticed it till she came to pose.

It's a kick ass painting! As most painting would just make me cringe to have to look at myself (especially on that scale) this one seems to have captured my essence so I don't get stuck on what I look like but get a sense of calmness, beauty and familiarness (is that a word?) Tracey this painting is a reflection of you not me

That is why you are a Kick Ass Chick! ...and I think you are right, it is me and it is you too. Just reading what you wrote confirms that! You have simply and calmly captured what the portraits were about, in under 300 constrictors!
When I look at that painting it feels like home.
