I was excited to see that Karin Jurick was going to have her portrait challenge again this year on her Different Strokes From Different Folks blog. I have been wanting to work on some portraiture and I really wanted to work with people I hadn't yet met. On the blog Karin switches photos of two people and they paint each other. I was excited to be painting Horst Hittenberger and love the portrait he has done of me!

Solid piece!- Love the way you emphasized his masculine features-Some faces are just made for portraits-Horst is one!
Very Nice Sally. I like the loose feel of the brush strokes. And nice write-up on today's Empty Easel. Look at you all up in there.
Way to go!

Beautiful, really like the handling of that solid chin!
One of the better ones Sally. Great skin tones and beautifully painted.
An absolutely beautiful job, Sally.
very painterly but really great draftsmanship is the foundation. A lesson we can all learn from.
Great portrait, Sally! I love the colors and brush work.
Really wonderful portrait Sally!
Very nice portrait, with a strong expression!He is a character!
This is so nice. You captured the ruggedness of him and your colors are right on...Beautiful job...
Very strong portrait. I also enjoyed seeing your glass work. Beautiful as well. Best wishes.
Awesome as usual! I loved looking at all the different styles in the challenge...you and Horst have a kindred spirit. Does he paint glass?

Such a strong portrait and beautiful at that.
Very well done Sally, my family and I love the portrait very much, wonderful colors,

Sally, this is such a grand portrait, you should do more, but when I see your glass paintings, I think you should not wander away from that. You are multi talented in your artwork!
