It's time again for Sunday Favorite Re-runs, a new Meme hosted by Chari over @ happytodesign http://happytodesign.blogspot.com/ It is so much fun to go back and re-run some of my favorite post. This was posted Wednesday, January 7, 2009, it was one of my first post.....
This year I wanted to give my Children something special for Christmas. I have always loved to paint, doing people is one of my favorite things to do. But...I've never really done a person that I had to make look like someone special. So my year was filled with trail and error attempts to do these. Here is the final results....
Keifer and Marissa, Son of Ronnie and Daughter of Ronnie and Mindy Smith
Lance and Teresa Smith Wedding picture
Connor and Morgan Smith Son and Daughter of Chuck and Lori Smith
I have also done a couple more portraits and canvases of people.
Karter Smith Son of Missy and Kyrk Smith
Wow, those are some beautiful rendition...

ReplyDeleteMolly...you did great with those portrait drawings. :)

Painting portraits is soooo difficult -- capturing someone's look requires lots of skill and talent --- and you clearly have done this very nicely! Lovely portraits, thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi Molly...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you joined in with Sunday Favorites this week, my friend!
What a fabulous post to reshare with all of us...of course, it's brand new to me! Ohhh...my friend, you are such a gifted and talented artist! I just loved seeing all of these fabulous family portraits that you have done...they are really, really good!!! I bet your family was just elated to receive such personalized gifts...I know that I would have been!!!
Years ago I did oil painting...I also really enjoyed doing portrait painting! But then life, work, etc. caused me to put it aside...seeing this post inspires me to get back to it!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful talents with us, my friend!
Have a super Sunday!
Chari
PS...do you use oil or acrylics? Just curious!
What treasures you have given your family. It is very hard to paint portraits. Good job.
ReplyDeletei remember this one from the first time you posted... you are so talented!
