Thanks, Ron, and good to know she's coming around at last. I like his style very much. Can't afford his kind of set-up, so have to make do with flashlights and trashbags, but everyone's got to start somewhere, lol.
If your wife's a fan, Peter does have a number of YouTube videos, and drops a pearl here and there even during his interviews. The tutorials are really worth watching, and he's a lot of fun to listen to. Sadly, can't afford his DVD tutorials myself, but I figure if I keep practicing my portraits for, say, 250 years or so, I might eventually do something almost as nice as his. ; )
Glad she enjoyed this one, and thanks as always for those thumbs and your visit!

Very nice Randy, and a beautiful model. So do you keep her in a kennel?
No, but I make her clean them, lol! Thanks, Mary. I expect she could earn a lot more by modeling than the pittance I pay her, but I'm not going to tell her that... Who would clean the kennels then?
Besides, if she left, she would no longer be able to benefit from my wisdom, nor bask in the wonder and glory of my creative brilliance. *cough cough*
On top of which, I love her to death, and I'd just plain miss her!
Thanks for your fun comments and visit, I always appreciate them!

Very nice shot Randy. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Thanks, Mare. A pretty lady and not a bad pose. She's been a big help as I'm learning. Don't think we're done yet, either, but at least these are getting better.
Glad you liked it, and thanks as always for your visit and kind comment, it's appreciated, and thanks for those thumbs!

Madame Pocahontas is not the face that launched a thousand ships and started a war that lasted ten years. But then, Helen had a great publicist. Altho it boggles the mind that with all the hubbub, no one bothered to take a decent shot of her to pass along.
At the very least, this modern version of Helen ought to be worth a few rowboats and a good bar fight.

There's a engineering joke: What's the measure of beauty necessary to launch one ship? Ans: One Milli-Helen.

It's hard to add to all the complimentary posts already up Treepusher....I went back to the "Witch" pix---Such an amazing contrast!....but I guess in my antiquated mind, I still wonder why crop the top of the hair?
