Peaceful

Here is another portrait I started as a demo in my portrait class and liked it so much I decided to finish it. I have been able to produce many pieces from a photo session with my daughter we did about 5 years ago. She was in a really good posing mood and the light was so nice. Thanks for viewing my art!

Pleasing Light

I begain this portrait as a demo in one of my portrait classes. After working on it for only 20 minutes or so, I knew I was going to have to finish it later at home and I did. I tried to work quickly and I like the unfinished quality near the bottom of the painting. This painting is currently at Lotton Gallery in Chicago.

Gardenia

This is my first posting on my new art blog! I painted this painting of Kayla from a photo I took of her in my garden this past summer. It was fun painting the cool shadows on her skin and the spots of sun hitting her face.
