Ann Supan
So expressive...such strength "self" portrayed by the artist "herself" requires courage :)
Christel Roelandt replied:
Yes, a self is really hard, I had to do it over a longer period and store it away for a while sometimes, Ann, I didn`t always have the courage for it actually. I`m happy you like the end result though!! Thank you very much!! Best wishes, Christel.

Alfred Motzer
Overwhelming self portrait dear Christel, showing so much more than the eye can see ... Hope you are fine too and wish you a wonderful time ..!! L/F
Christel Roelandt replied:
What a wonderful comment, Alfred. I am fine thank you! I do not like pictures of myself and don`t understand the new "selfie" -culture but for a portraitist is a mandatory excercise....had a hard time doing it, but in the end it worked out. Best wishes, my friend. Christel.

P J Lewis
This is so dramatic and captivating, my dear Christel, but you are too harsh on yourself! You are so much younger and prettier than the emotional woman so skillfully pictured here! Still, I like it.
Christel Roelandt replied:
Oh, P J, you are so sweet, but I am very fifty-ish, you know, I try my best, but the years are there and it shows, LOL. Thank you so much, I`m happy you like it, my friend. Best wishes to you, Christel.

I would call this: Heads in the clouds :))) I like your stories to it Miss Dreamer !!! ...of course I like your work also :))
Christel Roelandt replied:
"Head in the clouds" or "verstrooide professor" I`ve heard so many times, Michel...haha...I must have blocked those honorary titles out, because I never thought of it... But yeah... could have worked too... then again...who wants to be reminded of Sister Dora??? Eeeeekkkk !! LOL! Groetjes, en dank je wel, Christel.
