DSFDF portrait exchange
It's that time of year again... the Different Strokes from Different Folks portrait exchange is at hand. I don't know who this artist is, but she is painting my portrait. I had a heck of a time with this painting- from the first strokes of the first draft to the photographing of the final piece, it was difficult... it looks better (as they generally do) in person. I cropped the reference to just focus on the expression on the face. I am fairly pleased with the finished product, especially compared to the first attempt. :)

Nice Photo! The painting just looks like the carbon copy. Truly amazing work of art.
Hi Chelsie, I REALLY like your DSFDF portrait that you did. Good work!
I looked at your beta web sit and it looks good as well. It's just me, but I like more contrast between the text and the background.
Keep up the good work and have a happy new year!

Wow Chelsie - you kept the drama in the reference photo in your painted portrait! Nice one!
You are very talented! I like the layout you have going on - at your website.
Wonderful job with the portrait, Chelsie.
I love it! You are so talented~ I am looking forward to following your work through the new year.

Great job, Chelsie. The cropping makes this an intriguing pose.
Hello, Chelsie,
Your entry for the DSFDS portrait challenge is wonderful. The slightly stylized, illustrative quality is really terrific. Great work.
Great job on this Chelsea. This very dramatic look could have easily been a disaster, but you pulled it off with an interesting crop.
great piece for DSFDF. Love the cropping you gave it too.
Good job! This was a tough reference photo to work from but you pulled out a good piece.
You captured the expression of your subject perfectly - this is really great!
Intense! You did a wonderful job.

Love how you caught that "look" in your painting for the Different Strokes challenge. You have some wonderful work showing on your blog. My compliments and congratulations. Keep up the good work in 2010.
Hi Chelsie, thanks for your great painting! Just wanted to say that I enjoyed painting your portrait, and if you'd like to have it, just email me your postal address!
