50th Birthday Celebration • 50 Portraits in 50 Days - 32/50

8/23/2012

Today's 50th Birthday Celebration was hard and easy at the same time. It was hard because the image was such a low resolution that it came out only about an inch square. Tiny! The only way I could do it was because her features were so easy. Kind of classic. So that's what saved me. Actually, I don't know how well I did compared to her in person, since I've never met her before. But, I think I did as good as my abilities would let me. I also don't think I'll challenge myself that much again. Painting #32.

WOW Shannon! WELL done YOU
You did this SO quickly!

AND it is a pretty good likeness...
Sorry to have presented you with such a tough challenge though :-/

I had no idea you were really going to try with this little pic but you saved me hunting for a higher res one (so many of many of mine are iPhone pix - although I thought this was a proper camera pic and so resolution would be better)(?)

Lots of love and BIRTHDAY WISHES xx

Life's about the journey, and challenges help that. It goes along with that video interview we heard of Brenden & Marie where he talks about the "drive for challenge". That drive is exactly why I did this 50th birthday celebration this way and it hasn't been a disappointment. Thanks for going on part of the journey with me.
