Here we are about mid-way into the very short 4-hour painting session and I still wasn’t sure if I wanted to include this piece in the Art Auction or if I should just leave it to the side. Thank god for instagram because the finished version received an overwhelming response so here we are! Woman and the Veil is Painting No 8 and it’s thanks to my followers.

Today is a special day, not only because it’s my first portrait but because it’s my BIRTHDAY! Turning 33 today and I’ll be celebrating tonight with my husband with some yummy seafood.
