Queen

I notice that as I work smaller, the features become more exaggerated, more cartoonish. Nice for a change, anyway. This is 4 x 6 inches, oil on panel.

I wouldn't say cartoonish. I would say expressive, part of your signature style. And personally, my favorite part. I love how your paintings resemble the model, but seem more alive than the photo. . . I think this is all coming out wrong. I meant to say that I LOVE your style of drawing, which is so obvious in your paintings. Your drawing skills are one of your greatest strengths and is what sets you apart in my opinion. It's my favorite part of your work.

I take that as a huge compliment, Crystal. The drawing is the most important thing, and I'm glad you notice it.
