I am thankful for my girl, Jenny. And thankful that she’s finally coming home this week.
I am less thankful for:
how hard this watercolor was to do, for overworking it to try to get the likeness right. and for the fact that I made her look dour when she is anything but. Ah well. Maybe I’ll do better when I can draw her from real life again.

it makes me happy that you have “a girl.”

This is a bold and alive portrait. And there is a lot of “light”in her eyes. What else? 🙂

I love how loose and simplistic this portrait appears, although I suspect it was anything but. You have caught an intensity in her eyes. I hope you have had lots of time to catch up.

I don’t think she looks dour… reflective, perhaps?

I don’t think she looks dour…reflective maybe. Of course, I don’t have a clue what Jenny looks like in person or photo but I’m glad she’s a presence in your life and from what I “read” between the lines, she’s a special presence…hooray for both of you!

That is a lovely portrait of your Jenny and my good friend and book buddy JJ. We will all be glad to have her back on the RIGHT coast, as in correct or east, not conservative. 😉
Well done Danny!! xx

Danny, for me she don’t looks dour too…yes reflective I think… you’re lovely daughter…
I like this portrait.
Oh and with watercolors, it’s really hard, I know it, because I tried some portraits
the last time – Gosh! – It’s very hard!
In the moment I’m trying portraits with gouache and I find it slightly easier…

She looks great in your watercolor, I have seen that look many a time when she was a toddler, Happy Birthday to her and where should I send the damn card? Love to her from her big and much older brother.
