This is a very delicate portrait and the lace is handled very well. The earring is a nice, too. I just have one small complaint--I think her nearest elbow (her left) is too sharp and could be rounded just a bit to look more natural. Great job, though.

This is great! The professional use of pasel, a lot of texture. I like the composition. White on the black gives great contrast. I love the detail of the lace in the brides' wedding dress. Light and shadows are perfect! Well done! And now it has the recognized status! My compliments!!!

A somewhat different subject for you. You hav captured her nicely and created the image with a lot of negative space, which makes it somewhat out of balance. The photo of this seems somewhat out of focus, but knowing your other pieces I am assuming the details are sharper. I would have preferred you hadn't clipped off the top of her heard. Nice piece.

Lovely pastel painting, James, showing the pretty bride decked in all her finery. I love all the detail you've put in her veil and clothing and the expression on her face. The black background works very well to show her off. Excellent use of light and shade. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Oh how cool James. This has a really different and special look about it. Not sure what the term would be, but it is so very interesting.

The details in the dress and veil are really well done.

Great work James ~ Steve

The detail and the texture that you created throughout the lace looks wonderful. The grey tones are placed expertly and the highlighting on her face is really remarkable work.
