Description
You know how much I love my Pet Paintings.
I have though wished to add portrait painting to it,
and especially children's portraits.
Therefore I train and train to make something good.
As with pets, the eyes for me are so essential.
The eyes tell us about the soul, yes, even pets have a soul.
When an animal lives together with humans, they take a big step up in conciousness.
But..back to this painting. Hope you like it!
I really try to catch that something, that words cannot describe.
You can tell me if I succed or not.
Thanks for viewing and the coments you are kind to give.

whether you paint animals or people, gun, you somehow always give them that something 'more' which makes them special imo.
Very fine and delightful portrait my dear Gun...bravissima as Your usual!V:DDD.Big Hugsxx Whylma.
You succeed beautifully. Great lighting and color work here with a captivating expression of some inner longing.
Those eyes are deep & thoughtful and I'm sure you've captured the essence of this child perfectly!!!!! excellent work Gun!!!!!
Lovely. She could be sad, or bored, or fascinated with something, I can't decide. She changes by the moment. Wonderfully expressive. Well done.
Lovely portrait....
The eyes have it! Not sure about the necklace, though. Was this painted from life or a photograph?
I am so happy you are expanding. This is very nice Gun. I like the textural feel to this and the colors.
To me this says... young girl...old soul! Evocative.
Just Beautiful work'simply excellent' it has the Vermeer lighting touch..5++
I like to "read" the eyes and mouth together, excellent post work textures and colour and I'd say the eyes definitely tell a story, some sadness?
The whole of this is wonderfuland, about her expressions it denotes some kind of sadness or melancholy ... it seems she is longing for something. Splendid work ;O)
O MY GOD, This is really superB...what an expression
Unique artwork...
beautiful, but sooo sad. I hope it is turned quickly into joy. Is this a painting with the 'traditional' brush and paint or computer painted? I love the texture of the piece, makes it stand oout from the usual portraiture. Excellent! Myke Morton
Training?? Oh so beautiful!
Excellent!
Lovely. Her eyes are hauntingly expressive. Wonderful work.
the expression is timeless and can be applied in any century... wonderful portrait.
Very haunting portrait done beautifully :)
~~Gun..Your Talented In Every Artwork You Produce! This Portrait Is Just Perfect And I Would Really Like To See More!!~~
Without seeing the original it's hard to adequately judge just how much of this is you and how much is the original photo.I wish I could see that...But regardless,the compo is perfect,as is the use of light and shadows.Her expression is perfection,as well...definately the kind I would look for from a portrait,because it is mysterious and enigmatic,and the viewer can then bring his or her own impression to it...Portraits are interesting things.There are portraits done to make the subjects feel good about themselves,and then there are portraits that are truly fine art.That's what you have here.It's like 'The Girl With the Pearl Earring'.It's 'fine' art...art that makes a statement about who 'you' are as an artist,and more than simply making something 'pretty' for this girl or her family.You did a beautiful job here,Gunsan.It's timeless,elegant and wonderfully executed.I hope you'll do more.-M :^) PS Sorry for the edits.I think my first sentence could be misinterpreted.I think you probably had a very generic photo and then you really made fine art out of it...but it's hard to know without seeing the original,just how much you brought to the table,here.I suspect,it's a lot...Hope that clarifies.-M :^)
Superb as ever. it's not this image I'd love to comment upon. it's not the colors or texture in your works that make me stop. there's something else, definitely on the surface that keeps me gaze at them. most probably you know a secret way of conveying your innermost feelings or someone just leads your mind and hand.
Very soulful picture, love the lighting and colours, really great.
I think you have done a wonderful job here! Her eyes, along with her overall expression, seem to portray uncertainty of who she is in the presence of one in authority, and a sad feeling of loss beneath. A very appealing, whistful image expertly created! Well done!
Simply wonderful I hope to see more of these!!
Very beautiful. So realistic.
Wonderful portrait, softly and suggestive. Bravo!!!
Wonderful painting !!!
Those eyes speak volumes !!!! Brilliant in every way S
