and the wonderful gesture with her hands adjusting her shades that by the way way have a beautiful tint. The clear beautiful eyes and even the way the hat rests on her head. Believe I have seen many paintings with the hat not resting right sometimes looking like it had fallen from the sky and just landed there. Nice

Kathleen, thank you for commenting on cactus flowers! This is very good. Watercolor is not the best for portrait work, hard/soft pastels, or oil paints are the prefered medium. colored pencils (derwent) are also good but since you like portraits, don't make it hard, use a medium which lends itself to the subject.

I find watercolor to be the best medium I can handle. I can't stand pastel and colored pencils are what I got away from. Thanks for your insight Janet!

I can see why it’s many people’s favorite. You did an outstanding job on it. No one would ever guess that this was your first attempt at watercolors. Everything is perfect about it, down to the pose and colors. She is such an adorable little girl, I’m sure she’ll cherish it for years to come.

Artist Statement
for Nancy
NancyDrawing and painting are my true loves. I have drawn off and on most of my life and started watercolor painting several years ago. I love it because it flows so beautifully easy. I love painting faces which are so beautiful to me. The moods of people fascinate me and the paintings they make are so connected to who I am. If you would like to commision me to do a painting for you, you can email me at
