Bragging
As many of you know, I'm in a portrait group this year. We decided to begin painting ourselves. As all of this was my fault, I went first. In a very generous and gentlemanly gesture, Steve Chipman sent me his portrait of me, you see it above.
I have to say, it is absolutely stunning. Steve is a tremendous portraitist. I'd recommend him to anyone who is interested in commissioning a portrait. You can see how good it looks online, but I must say that it looks even better in real life. It shall soon be hanging up in the studio!
Cheers Steve!

It's really lovely, Rose. You are very lucky.
It is a fabulous piece Rose. And lovely for Steve to send it too.

I'm a big fan of his work and was so excited when I saw he was doing a portrait of you. It's wonderful! How exciting for you. :)
OH, I was hoping Steve would send this to you! Way to go, Steve! I am envious of his style of working. I'm waiting for the time he gives classes. :)
What a wonderful gift! Steve has created a very beautiful portrait. I enjoyed watching it develop on his blog. The hours he spends on a piece show through in the results.
Wow, Steve! Great work!
