At last I finished the big oil portrait I've been working on for a couple of months. It's 30" x 36" oil on canvas. I was working from a low resolution digital picture which made it very difficult to see the details. That's ok, I just used a little artistic freedom! I received a note from the person who commissioned the painting for his wife....she had tears, which he said was very unusual for her. I was so thrilled that she loved the painting! I believe she actually took the photo of Lexi on the beach and I was struck by the colors in the dress as well as the seagull and his shadow...not to mention the water. Such a joy to paint.
Looking forward to the next "Coffee, Tea, and Painting Therapy" session on April 24th. Still looking for what I want us to paint. Any ideas?
