two of mine


This is a picture of my 23 year old twins 21 years ago. I loved the light hitting them . The photo captured so much of their personalities. Clint, the one on the left was always very active and loved to snuggle and Ben on the right was pretty calm and was not a big fan of snuggling. So thankful for both of them and the lovely memories.
This is painted on an 8 x 10" linen canvas.

    Such a beautiful piece Carol. You always seem to capture that feeling of a moment in time with your figure work. Beautifully painted and full of character.

    Fabulous painting. You really captured the moment. The green foliage helps bring out the warm skin tones. Congrats!

    Absolutely gorgeous boys, Carol. Your technique is wonderful and I see what you mean about the way the sunlight was hitting the boys. What a show stopper of a piece and a precious family heirloom now, I hope!
