Sometimes I paint a face three or four times before the final portrait is done. The young lady’s mother sent me many photos and this is the image I painted from the one I liked the best. It is bright and interesting, and fun too. They came to my house for an actual sitting, so that I could work from a more formal pose. I will show you the final portrait soon, just wanted to give this one some air time because it just makes me smile.
