How cool, I'll bet the girls loved this painting.
The girls are lovely. You really do eyes well. I also have a portrait on mine and it doesn't look like or really do justice to the subject.

SO so so pretty! I LOVE THIS!! What a sweet idea and the background and soft images are just stunning. And isn't photo corrector cool - I used it alllll the time! Really beautiful my friend - and I too used pencil (to answer your question ;) on the lips and as an outline - I just follow up with a spray on fixative so that it doesn't smudge later . . . Happy week, xoxox
Beautiful Mandy! I love it!!!
Hi Mandy thanks for stopping by my blog...I only took pics of the neat bits as I am tooooo embarrassed to take pics of the rest My craft space is in the garage as well got kicked out of the house as I was making tooooo much mess, I'm supposed to have half a double garage for my work space but some how I have managed to create a huge mess in most of it and now I have no room to work properly hence the big declutter and reorganising....I do stop by your blog regularly and I'm loving your art work...have you thought about selling it I'm sure there are lots of people out there that would love to have some of your art work on their walls me being one...take care gorgeous girl...oxo
haha! No worries about people thinking you painted it! But it would've been funny if it happened again this week, lol! Anywho.. LOVE your painted girls, great colors, textures and eyes, but especially that blond hair!! I love it!!
