Today is Nicole's Friday Face-Off portrait challenge, in which we share portraits we have done of another. Now, if I was really doing this right, it would be something more recent than these. But, as they say, "it's been a month" (or two). So a couple of oldies. I'll kick it off with Rick. (All of these were done in watercolor on paper.)
Then there were these two of Carson. He's our oldest grand. (To give you an idea of how long ago I did these, Carson will be 9 in February.)
And other, done at the same time. (I made his mouth too red here. I need to go in and fix that.
Here's one of their mom, Molly
But I really love doing pet portraits. This is my cousin's cat, Woody.
And then there was my Marmelade Gypsy.

I didn't like it so I did it over. The color is more accurate here and I did better on the wonky eye above. He still looks like he has on too much eyeliner underneath. (The color in the photo above is a little off -- too much magenta in the printer!)

And of course, my favorite subject, Lizzie!
I really need to get back to doing these again!
Here's lookin' at you, kid!
Check out some of the links at Nicole's for other fun portraitsand her links to many others by lots of different bloggers who love to draw and paint!

Your portraits are amazing! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but if forced to, I choose Lizzie.
What wonderful paintings! Sure, can see your favourite subject. Loved the details in eye! You are so creative. Keep painting and Keep sharing with us! Hugs.
Wow Jeanie. I am impressed. These are wonderful portraits. I think portraits might just be your thing. :) Stay warm. hugs-Erika
WOW! You are amazing. I can't pick a favorite because I love all of them! You do beautiful work! xo Diana
...Jeanie, you had some wonderful subjects to work with and did beautiful jobs!
You are so talented!
It's been a long time since I've done any drawing. Maybe I will do some this weekend!
You did well. Would my selfies count? Kidding.
OMG, you are such an amazing artist!!!
oh my goodness! Your portrait is wonderful!!! I love it and you are an incredible artist. I'm inspired to try a portrait in watercolor. Have a lovely weekend Jeanie!
Gosh, you do well at portraits! I like Rick's the best but the boys have that special thing, too, that a brush can capture better than a camera. And of course, who wouldn't like pet portraits. I recently did a yellow cat and couldn't get the eyes right. Seeing yours I know what is missing in mine, now!
Wonderful series of awesome portraits ~ hugs,

You have outdone yourself wow!
Love them all!! Wow! :)
Very impressive and I enjoyed seeing everyone of them. What a gift you have.
Wow, some truly amazing work, Jeanie.
Wow! These are amazing, Jeanie! I can't pick a favorite as they are all so good! They are gorgeous!
These are all amazing portraits, but my two favorites are the ones of Carson. Blessings!
Hello Jeanie,
I love all your portraits, well done! You are talented.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
Wow these are fabulous! I tend to shy away from people in my art work.. though weirdly I was just going through old art work for a post I'm pulling together and saw that in high school and college I did a lot of portrait work. I have never attempted them in watercolor though.
Jeanie, I love your portraits! I've seen most of them, of course, since I've been following you for soooooo long. I've pretty much disappeared from the blogosphere for a while now (hoping to post next month and catch up with my favorite bloggers). I've also hardly gotten my brushes wet for months now and plan to start again, so I thought I'd begin my "catching up" with *you*! Such perfect timing. Thanks for the motivation!
These are amazing, Jeanie! The ones of the little boy really tug at my heart. What talent you have.
