Keeping me busy during lockdown

Good gracious.Wow!

I didn't know you're a portrait painter. They're wonderful.

Wonderful, I thought they were photos at first look.

I am full of admiration of your talent Linda. They look very natural and relaxed poses.

Gosh, I am in total admiration about the realism in those paintings. I am good at sculpture but would love to be able to paint, just need a good teacher. Once more, a beautiful painting, you are so talented.

They are a couple of academics. They commissioned me to paint their portraits. It took longer than expected due to Covid-19 rules.

Welcome as they are great!

Love your portraits.

Lucky academics, the portraits show real character. They should be thrilled.

Wonderfully done portraits, Linda! You have a wonderful talent for painting as they are really lifelike!

Shear brilliance Linda. I'm so thrilled to see your work.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments.

They are superb, both of them. What wonderfully, warm portraits.

Just wow!!!! What an absolutely fantastic pair of portraits, Linda!!! The first pic of the lady - I though it was a photograph! Thank you for sharing.

WOW! I just love them ! You are so very talented ! Thank you for sharing.

Well, thank you all for your enthusiasm. xx

Oh wow,Linda..I also thought they were photgraphs at first..You have such a special talent,and I envy you being able to bring characters to life, like you have with this lovely couple.

Thanks Bloomer.
My university portrait commission will come to a stand still soon. I have the robe of office so I am able to put it on a dummy and continue with the detail of that. I also have the books etc that were on her desk. We just keep going.
