It's so nice to have You back, dear friend, and what an outstandingly nice gallery of stylish portraits! (some of them are absolute marvels!)

[Alexandra]

Excellent Dali!

[Rob in Denver]

Yes, welcome back--even though we have no reference to what these people rally look like, somehow we just know you nailed each one. Excellent!

[dali]

Thanks guys...it's a special project I'm working on. On Facebook, whoever joins the event I posted for the contest has a chance to get a facebook portrait done by me. So I will be adding more onto this thread. I hope to be able to do about 50 portraits in a span of 2 weeks. We'll see how close I get. :)

Awesome portraits! Are you really doing these this quickly? Amazing. :)

[sabena]

Hi Dali

All your paintings are great:D:D:D You are a great artist

[mannafig]

WOW they are great portraits I especially like the first little girl she looks very sweet:):)

[Lima]

Dali your work is perfect. Beautifull and well done. :eek::eek::eek: Congratulations

[dali]

Thank you everyone! And yes, I am trying to do them all quickly. Some take longer than others. Like just a face takes a few hours, a full one with extra might take about 8 hours. Here's another one!

[dali]

Here is one of my friends who is voting for me.:D

[dali]

You guys better keep up! :D

[dali]

Here's another one!

[dali]

Here is another, I am just going to keep adding these to this thread, so look back often!

[sabena]

Wow Dali i like all but the last for me is special:)

[coops]

Wow Dali you are so talented. These are absolutely wonderful but I do have a favourite and that is the lady you have just added. What a beautiful smile and wonderful eyes she has. You have captured really happiness in this one. Well done Dali and cannot wait to see more.:)

[foxytocin]

These are quite special, Dali. I hope the subjects give you a great big thanks....

[dali]

Thanks Sabena, Coops, and Foxytocin. More to come, just have to pause for the weekend when my real job calls. :)

[ScottF]

Dali, as others have said, it´s good to see you back! I´m amazed how you can create so many fine portraits so quickly. I guess when one has talent many things are possible. :cool:

[dali]

When you've done portraits for so long, you get used to the technique. Now give me a landscape, and it will take me several days and you'll still never get a believable piece. I think it is because I see things as shapes so easily in faces, but not in scenery. It's just colors, it's just blobs, I can't take it and turn it into a shape for the life of me, and it has to be perfect.

[mannafig]

Wow you are very talented.:):)

Just out of curiosity was any of your portraits inspired by a tv series Heroes only a couple of your portraits look like some of the characters.

[fraser_paice]

Yikes Dali this is bordering on a medical condition.. amazing talent.

[screenpainter]

They are all spectacular! These last two are even more amazing. Brilliant.

[dali]

Thanks again fraser, gzairborne, and mannafig, and no, none of them were characters from Heroes, these are all the portraits of some of the friends I have on facebook.

[Lima]

Dali, wow. Fantastic work. More...

[sandyg]

Dali, I belong to face book, , I voted on the ABC book competition, I recognized your portrait when I looked through again. I hope you do well in the competition. Great portraits, all of them.

[dali]

Oh really? Thanks Sandy!!! I appreciate your support!

[pai]

These are great portrait paintings, Dali. You are very talented and do it so fast. I really like the last one too but every portrait shows the person own character. Amazing. All the luck to your competition.:)

[Alexandra]

Dali, these are wonderful. I really like your technique.:)

[Caesar]

You're going on in this gallery at light-speed and with an excellent quality, dear Michelle! I'm speechless (at least once ... ;):D) :eek::):):)

[byroncallas]

Dali - somehow I missed this outstanding thread. I'll just echo all the praise given to so much great work and throw in a couple of wows (wow wow - there, that's a couple). Terrific work. :):):):):):)

[wonder-w]

Wow!!! Great job!!! Congratulations!!
