Only If I Could See Her To Fulfil My Promise (portrait Of Destiny) by Joe88(m): 9:47am On Dec 02, 2014
In 2010, on the last day of the art-workshop in Delta state I promised her a portrait. She had been our model all through and I had always dreamt of capturing this beauty in Pastel. We lost contact ever since but her portrait which I painstakingly rendered with 'pastel on board' has remained with me. All efforts to reach her had met a wall. As I wake up each day, I always wish I could see her to fulfill my promise. Please admire this beauty and maybe it could reduce the burden.

That is a portrait. Would you call Leonardo's 'Monalisa' a photoshoped picture or would you refer to his 'David' as engineered? Even photoshoped images can still be regarded as art because it involves creativity. However, that portrait of destiny is not Photoshoped

Don't mind him. Some people can't recognize strokes.

Great painting. shocked

Some issues though:

- her right lower eyelid looks weird, the outer part (to the right side) is too pushed up.

- on her left eye, the top left side seems a little bulged.

Other than that, it's great.

Thanks a lot. You are very observant. I wish I can touch it one more time but it has been signed already. However, no art has the potential of being perfect, the artist can only strive towards perfection if he likes and since he is not God he can never achieve perfection but mastery. I appreciate your observation.

to further buttress that, the sole essence of a portrait is not only to capture resemblance through perfection but also to capture the mood and personality of the subject. The picture below might explain better.
