  2. This painter really liked rosie cheeks, as seen in his other portraits!
    Need to have my stick of cheek color otherwise, I’m soooo very pale!

  3. Shannon’s talent at painting faces is amazing… No wonder he won awards. I enjoy the handling in paint of the fabrics in his paintings. I am also struck with how he uses circular and/or spherical brush strokes and motifs by the subjects or backgrounds. Did he signify madonnas on purpose or just an incidental feature? Very interesting and so
    beautiful. Wish he was here to paint my family !!!
