Hi Stan,
Thanks for posting the larger picture. It is now easier to see you have certainly 'captured ' Hayley's eyes to perfection. This in my view makes the painting come to life !

Best Wishes,

Hi Stan

Excellent portrait.

I enjoyed looking at your MySpace page as well - I liked the ones of Mairead from Celtic Woman particularly.

Kind regards

Thank you so much everyone, Hayley is a true inspiration to work with, sometimes it is hard to find an excellent picture to work with, this is why I like to work from my own photo's and real life, in this case neither was possible. I have to thank the photographer for giving me an excellent picture to work with. I do apologize for using someone else's photo but I make no profit from this work and it will be a gift to Hayley. Her instrument, or her voice as you can say, is the finest instrument I've ever heard and is her gift to us, this is the least I can do for her.

This is Hayley's portrait matted and framed.
