I started my blog last year with the DSFDF portrait challenge and had so much fun with it. I jumped right in with this years challenge and hope the unknown artist that was given to me to paint (I am pretty sure I know) is happy with the results. Watercolor 7x10 inches
For those of you not familiar with the Different Strokes from Different Folks, it is worth checking out.
Fun to participate and fun to follow!
Update- Yes, I guessed right. It is Dean and you can click on his name to visit his site and see the painting he did of me. (note how we both used warm colors against cools-totally unplanned by us)

Maria,
This is beautiful!
This reminds me, you might be interested in this website: http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/selfportrait. The group is based in Brooklyn, NY. They have all kinds of projects that you can sign up to participate in. This particular one is a self-portrait project. They will hang all the artwork submitted at the Brooklyn Library and will be printing a book of the art. Sounds like fun.
Great portrait. I'm sure he will like it.
Wow...I like it a lot, Maria! That's me allright! Love your use of strong color. The intense blue background sets of the warm hued figure. Great job!
Your art is awesome, Maria.I enjoyed visiting your blog.Thanks for leaving a comment on my DSDF post.
Hello Maria,
I'm visiting here from Dean's blog and the DSFDF blog. Your interpretation of Dean is great and I really like his interpretation of you. Love the warm and cool contrast.
Great portrait! Your use of complementary colors looks superb!
What a great painting, Maria, I'm sure Dean loves it! Enjoyed visiting your blog and am impressed with the strong, beautiful colors you get out of watercolor. At first, I thought your portrait was in oil. Well done.
Great job on this portrait Maria...beautiful color!
Great job on the DSDF challenge.
This is fantastic! The colors really make this work beautifully.
This is a wonderful portrait of Dean - great job!
you painted my friend Dean! I would recognize him...and I like that you made him look warm..because he is! This is very nice. Congratulations on a job well done.
Maria, I love the painting. It is truly as warm as the man, and very skillfully executed.
Great job, Maria! Dean is such a warm person and you've portrayed that beautifully in your choice of palette.
Wow , Excellent lighting , nice colour and hue . The smile and warmth are speaking .
