Description
Detail from the original oil painting. This beautiful young lady could easily stop traffic. She reminded me of my childhood heroine, Snow White. The angst within her attracting the protective nature of every man within a 20 mile radius. Her deep artist soul longing for freedom, yet without the confidence and life experience needed to go out on her own...not yet. Looking back for reassurance, it becomes evident that she is almost ready to take the world by a storm! Almost ready for greatness, success, freedom, and all its accompanying joys and heartaches. Almost ready...but not quite.

Thank you Susan! Hmm... A portrait tutorial...that might be fun! I've been itching to do another portrait and have the perfect subject...
Susan Bradbury
Love the softness of this one...such a sweet expression. Skin tones are lovely. Perhaps a tutorial on portraits? You really have this down.
Jimmie Bartlett
Awesome portrait! Love the rendering of her eyes and skin tones. Also, there is a very nice movement in this painting. Perfection! f/v
Angela Stanton
Stunning work Talya! It is very hard to achieve what you did here with all this darkness and the face coming through completely real. v/f
Victoria Tekhtilova
Excellent work, like the colors! Like the deep tones and the way you've used the light...
Julia Taylor
At some point I will own this or it's larger version. Like many of your portraits, your artistic skills have created something transcendent.

I'm so happy to hear that, AnnaJo! There is little more meaningful than to hear my audience can relate to my paintings, thank you!
