Hey you Guys,
I've decided to post a couple more of the portraits I've been working on this week. We have a girl with child and a dog named "Eddie." Eddie was quite enjoyable to paint because the whole time I'm laughing at the pup's expression. The girl and child was more of a challenge. I had a tiny picture to work from that did not have the best lighting and had to make it a 16x20 painting. It is always tricky to paint teeth and smiles, one centimeter off and the person looks deformed. I've got another little girl portrait I'm working on in Baroque style which I'll be posting soon. The Baroque period is by far my favorite in terms of style. I'll be attempting to concentrate on dramatic lighting and expression with this next one, we'll see how it goes.
