I am glad you like the portrait of my beautiful wife. There are four secrets of how I did this painting:
1. I knew the person who's portrait I was going to paint very well.
2. A lot of patience taking the portrait photos.
3. I took the two photos that reminded me most of her. Then morphed them and found a place between them that was closer to my idea of her. Then I found a third photo I could morph with the morphed version to get even closer to my idea of the essens of my wife.
4. I spend a lot of time painting it. I just used the final morphed photo to refer to. No projector or other tehcniqally help at that time.

Wow !!
That is an incredible process !
There is so much beautiful art around and every Artist has his or her own individual and unique way for painting what he wishes to express !
And it is a very educating aswell as liberating to understand all the hardwork and preparation that goes into a painting !
Kudos to you for being such a master! hope to learn a lot from you in the coming years !
many regards
Alex
