Portraits Are Magical Showpieces
Karen,
I fear that my words will not do justice to your artistic talents.
I have taken thousands of pictures of my children as they were growing up.
Most of them were terrible. A few were good enough to keep. Almost none of
them were good enough to spend extra money on to enlarge.
When I learned about your portrait painting, I chose two photos I liked.
However, each picture had technical faults. One was poorly cropped. The other
was slightly out of focus. And let us not forget the plastic cups each child
had in their hands and the fluorescent wrist bands. These extra "props" further
distracted from the important subject of the picture, the children.
Your skillful portrait artistry was able to better reveal my son's boyish
impishness and my daughter's youthful elegance.
You were able to eliminate or replace the unneeded props.
You were able to create a magical background showpiece for my children.
Everyone who sees the painted portraits loves them.
Raymond Moy, M.D.

Portraits Are Unbelievable Works of Art
I've known Karen Sperling for a very long time and I have always been in awe of her amazing talents.
She can take any kind of photograph and turn it magically into an unbelievable work of art.
I love seeing what she does to portraits that I have taken because
they look like they have been painted from scratch.
And they are often so breathtaking that I can't believe she is capable
of making such one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
Karen is definitely one of a kind.

Ethereal Portraits
I'm looking at the paintings that
you're doing now and I'm really impressed.
Your portraits have an unmistakable "ethereal" quality
that is very appealing.
Keep up the great work Karen!

Portrait Perfect Likeness
Karen,
I was delighted to see the portrait you did of me.
An otherwise mundane picture comes to life with
the magical strokes of the brush. - Wait....thats a
digital manipulation. A perfect likeness through
your talented hand.
