I'm a port...Hi Christy -- My name is Laura Parrish. I'm a portrait artist in Glen Allen. I can't remember how I found your blog, but I was reading along, admiring your work and -- oh! -- she's from Richmond! Oh! She's married to Kerry Talbot! I worked in the advertising art department at the newspaper years ago. I don't think I ever met your husband.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, sorry this is so long. I just wanted to say I totally agree with what you write about children smiling in a portrait. You word it really well, too. :)<BR/><BR/>Have you seen this Sargent catalog? I thought I might order it to show my clients when I'm explaining about wide smiles and photographs versus traditional portraiture.<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Great-Expectations-Sargent-Painting-Children/dp/0821261681/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product<BR/><BR/>Anyway -- your work is lovely! Hope to cross paths sometime.Laura/CenterDownHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429332908819366130noreply@blogger.com
