OPA National Exhibition Acceptance and More Tulle!

Very excited! "Veiled Beauty" above was juried into the OPA National Juried Exhibition which is in Dallas from May 13 - June 15, 2016. Wasn't sure if the tulle would work, but got lucky! Did another small 12x12  above in a similar pose. So fun to paint. I've got one more on the easel which I'll post soon.

Veiled Beauty


I got inspired to paint this from a photograph I saw of a little girl in a costume with a veil over her head. So headed to the store, bought a piece of "toile", and snapped some quick photos of my daughter and the toile. Got some pretty interesting shots. I recently entered this one into the OPA National. Fingers crossed!
