Received my Portraits by NikkiJ - OMG!!!!
Ok - I am so excited I just had to share....Artist NikkiJ (from this thread on portraits for dancers: http://www.bhuz.com/forum/bellydance...s-dancers.html) finished my portraits and I am deliriously happy.
You can see some of the pics she used as inspiration here: 2007 - Recent Dance Events - a photoset on Flickr
I am so impressed! Her work is just stunning :) |

Re: Received my Portraits by NikkiJ - OMG!!!!
They're beautiful! Nikki, your style as an artist reminds me a bit of Wendy Pini (of Elfquest). (That's a compliment, by the way, I love her work.) I may need to see what you can do for me sometime next year, too!
