Welcome to my studio, its kind of a mess and a work in progress itself.
Its nice to see visitors from all over the world
who drop in for a look.

Have a look around. MAKE COMMENTS (?) , ideas, critiques or funny jokes.

I'd really like to hear what you think and have a chance to see what you're up to!

  1. Kaylyn, I love this portrait and the island feeling you gave it. The areas and touches of red are so nice with the pink skin tones and the foliage. It has such a great spirit about it, I know this woman will be very pleased with this! Well done!

  4. Thanks for coming by Camille, Dana, and Ann!

    Appreciate your kind comments! I always end up making up stories as I work through a piece. Even in my past work doing architectural renderings, I always found a reason for each figure to be where they were. Probably comes from too much coffee and too many very late nights!
