I've know Angela Buxbaum for a few years now after meeting her on ArtBistro.com. She is an amazing artist, jewelry designer and poet. I recently found out she was on Facebook too. Like shoes for some women, she changes the style of her avatar often. I was struck by the latest and asked permission to paint it. It sort of turned out to be more of a caricature of her but I like it because it reminds me of Manon Doyle's style of women (which I adore!)If she looks kind of familiar, some people may recognize her from an early post here from a different avatar.

Nice painting Sheila! Angela looks lovely. It does have the feel of Manon's work - which I love also! I didn't know about artbistro.com. I'll have to check it out.
Wow!
I'm so shocked by this portrait Sheila!
It is noticeably different in the style than I normally see you paint.
Your pet portraits are almost always loose, textured, and impressionistic. But Angela's portrait is quite smooth and tight.
It's not so much of a caricature as it is an illustration. There's a difference IMHO.
I'd love to see more in this style, especially the pet paintings!
