Well, for Daniel's birthday, I wanted to create a painting of us that actually looked like us - sort of. I think it turned out alright. It's definitely different trying to paint someone from "real life" rather than one of the women that just flow from my imagination. Daniel said he really liked it (isn't he sweet!?)! What do you think?We did have a really good laugh about the attire I painted us in. We both thought we looked like we were playing doctor and nurse! Nothing wrong with that...
In the meantime, we are having a fantastic time in St. Augustine - just wait until you see some of the photos. Such a beautiful place!
Hope you are all doing well. I look forward to having time to visit all of your blogs later this weekend!!
What a nice picture! I can definitely see the resemblance. I wondered if you'd paint something for Daniel for his birthday. Glad to hear you are enjoying your time in Florida. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteVery nice portrait. You both look glowing and happy, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting Silke and the painting does look like the two of you, well done - doctors and nurses hmm...now that you mention it it does look like you two are wearing hospital scrubs :D
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I think it is a great likeness of you and the good doctor. I love the background.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it...I think you captured yourself really well!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
Happy Birthday D!

Undoubtedly, you are both having a fantastic time, wherever you are.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your photos of St. Augustine.
Hugs and love,

You both look happy (and yes, kind of doctor and nurse...lol) in your painting. I like how you surrounded the two of you with the beautiful glowing aura too. It's definitely easier to paint the imagined faces than to paint a portrait from life, but it helps to paint one of someone you have great feelings for. Yours is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out fantastic

ReplyDeleteHello Silke, so much time I didn't say anything to you...I really love this painting, their faces are very alike to your real faces. And also there is a fantasy around very funny, I like it. I've seen the photos of Florida and also like them very much.
