in a pile


This was not an easy paint. The final commission piece for a family.  I am really pleased  that I stuck it out because I am happy with the outcome. He had this great little smile that I never captured but it is close enough. The commissioner knew I do not do portraits and just wanted a likeness but there is a fine line that I require of myself. This is painted on a 5 x 7" panel.
Participated in the Mountain Brook art association show yesterday and had a great time.  The weather was pretty perfect.  Plan to enjoy a sunny and cool day out today.  Hope yours is good as well. Posted by Picasasold

  1. This is one I knew I would love from the thumbnail. It is a small painting that reads much larger. Wonderful Carol, I'm sure your client is very happy!

  2. Je suis certaine que vous avez fait un heureux avec cette merveilleuse peinture... Il n'est jamais évident de faire un portrait. Je pense qu'avant tout vous y avez mis ce que vous ressentiez en regardant la photo qui devait vous servir de modèle.
    Gros bisous à vous.

  5. There is such a vintage feel to this piece and I can't place my finger on why. It is so beautiful though, Carol, and I think that vintage aspect just adds so very much to this one!
