What comes across in this masterpiece is just how much you love you're wife.

[hondatb]

Every time I thought “ok, stop, it’s finished”, you added another stroke and I thought, “yep, it needed that”. I’m in awe. Wow.

[mawdot]

Andrew, it was almost a spiritual experience to see you, stroke by stroke, bring your lovely wife to life on canvas! It
s perfect! You are an amazing artist and I never tire of watching you work! May God bless you.

[MrJohnd]

What an exquisite painting one can almost feel her breathing. Your mastery is out of this world. So grateful for sharing it with us.

[elainehowell]

I totally agree with the comment below. This one brought me to tears like the "Rachel by the Fire" video. One just feels the love coming through. What a beautiful woman your wife is. Andrew you have this God given talent to be able to capture emotion and feelings through your art. Your talent leaves me awestruck. How lucky we all are that you so generously share your gift so that we can improve our skills. Wow, this one will carry me through the day : )

Can't imagine centuries after this might just be one of the few portraits your great grandchildren would look at

Not since the day I was married or the birth of my son have I witnessed such an incredible display of love and tenderness of a man's love for another human being. True art is can be interpreted by feelings and emotions. Trying to describe these feelings and emotions is like trying to describe a color.
This was not just a painting to me. This was was an embankment in the inspiration of endearment. An avalanche of raw emotion from structure down to it's molecular core. From joy and euphoric happiness down to the pain hurt and tears that only this state of love and passion can bring. In short, such an easy word to say but yet the hardest thing in life to live. And in all that there ever was and all that will ever be, this is as intense as it gets.
It makes me ashamed that i get so involved in the bullsh*t of daily life that I don't remind myself enough that no matter what the materialistic problems are, the gifts of love remain priceless and should be treated as such.

Easily the most incredible photo-realistic painting I've seen created. So far beyond the ability of 99.99% of the artists out there. Your ability to mix/create the perfect colors is in and of itself astonishing. The lighting/shading are beyond belief. Makes one wonder if this is a trick or slight of hand, but obviously, based on all of your work you are a legit talent.

[pixelguru]

I could literally feel your love for your wife as your brush laid down color. This was mesmerizing. Thank you for putting beauty into the world.

[markhayes]

Truly remarkable. To think this portrait will be displayed many years from now of your beautiful wife painted with so much love and detail. One could only look at this and just wonder the thoughts that went through your mind and you were painting her. I too thought it was done....and then youd add more detail.

[hollyboysonboyson]

This painting of your wife, Rachel, is nothing short of exquisite. You painted her to look exactly like the real life Angel that she is to you. Exquisite beyond words. You're blessed with a gift to paint from what's in your heart, creating the image on your pallette to come alive. Rachel is blessed to be surrounded by the love you feel for her.

[cjwsydney]

What a wonderful painting of your beautiful wife. Thank you so much for taking us through your process. I believe this work is up there with the very best I’ve seen on UTube - simply outstanding Art.

[greyhaircapitan]

When I choose my object for the portrait, I choose it based on a love/warm feeling to the person I am going to paint. Then, spending hours on a painting does not feel like a burden but the pleasure. Andrew does it in every painting with a love to details with his number zero brush. It just look amazing, folks! He does a magic.

[saltlifegull]

OMG, words are not enough to express this level of talent.

[sandilear-watercoloursetal]

Extraordinary, knowing this lovely lady, you have captured her soul.

[derekstack]

At first I thought: "Wow, look at the love that went into that portrait!" Then I thought: "Wow, look at the immense amount of time and effort that went into building the skillset that went into that portrait!" Amazing work!

[ElnArt]

I only follow a handful of artists, and I always learn something from each. You sir, are at the top of that list of artists...thank you for coming back and sharing your skills!

[Grammyabigail]

Your wife is very beautiful. You are a good artist. Thank you for demonstrating se we could watch. I enjoyed it.

[thomasjanos]

Absolutely lovely. A beautiful young woman, a beautiful painting, and a beautiful technique. Every time I thought you were finished you went that much further. The delicate touch of the minute details is wonderful. I have never painted a human but have thought about doing my wife on our wedding day but no good photos

[ivgondef]

The talent of some people baffles me. Yours is incredible sir.
