There are some paintings that tend to paint itself and your portrait was most definitely one of them. I'm so glad you like it, can't wait for you to see it and like you said, maybe a pic with you and Del with your portrait! I'll display it proudly in my website! xoxArt By Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076726403159256165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20448230.post-57840999880180635322008-12-09T13:41:00.000-06:002008-12-09T13:41:00.000-06:00Wow!

I will treasure this painting and all the work you put into it for the rest of my life. It's hard to believe that we've never met and you were able to capture us with the crappy pictures I sent you. I'll have to get someone to take a photo of us now in the same pose and send it to you. After being with Del since 1972 we may have changed a little. Just a little. I think we still see each other as we were in the portrait. I think it's called blinded by love. Thank you Erika so very much!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925777751666072768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20448230.post-88064446421002425832008-12-07T20:48:00.000-06:002008-12-07T20:48:00.000-06:00I like the Cirque artwork.

And of course the final blessing is when they are purchased and find themselves a home. Being artists we take on so many roles, one of them as surrogate moms ;)<BR/><BR/>I hope they treasure their portrait as you say, I know I will treasure the joy of knowing them.Art By Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076726403159256165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20448230.post-33945058064613929392008-12-06T10:01:00.000-06:002008-12-06T10:01:00.000-06:00While the entire double portrait is beautiful, I e...While the entire double portrait is beautiful, I especially love how you rendered his wavy tousled hair. They each have a definite spark - I imagine this is attributed to the fact that you so enjoyed their story! Also, I loved hearing the story behind the cirque/leap of faith series - I've had the priviledge to see these in person, but now I have the whole story!Hillary Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394951567024825731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20448230.post-51251280815169487502008-12-06T06:56:00.000-06:002008-12-06T06:56:00.000-06:00The Leap of faith series is PHENOMENAL!

I love the dynamic compositions and bold colors. Lucky buyers.<BR/><BR/>Your finished portrait is lovely.
