Beautiful. It is so good in fact, I was wondering if you use a live model to paint from?
Jean Hildebrant replied:
Sorry I missed seeing your comment. Thank you! I do try to paint from life when I can. This is my daughter and she had time to pose for photos but not long enough to paint from life, unfortunately. Painting from life I’d definitely the best and most exciting!

Jean, I just read your bio and am an instant fan!! The girl from the small Oregon town makes it big! :) My art is peanuts compared to yours, and I am so pleased to start following your true art! This piece is so well done -- I can only hope some of my photography captures the feeling, depth of emotion and perfection of what I see in your library of images. Blue never looked so good :) F/V
Jean Hildebrant replied:
Ha! Not so big but thanks, Mick :D You're very kind! Thanks and it will be fun to see your images of Oregon! When I get homesick, I'll have to pop over to your gallery and get my Oregon fix!

Great portrait. Simple composition and very well executed! Confident handling of a very difficult medium.

You are an excellent pastel artist! Love your work. In this piece, I like the peacock feather, the silk or satin look on her dress and even the little touch of blue eye shadow - all in the blue theme! Well done. Voted.
