Okeedokey! Here I go. It's been a year since I last completed an oil portrait. Since then,
I've only been working on pastels - So please be gentle!
This portrait is of a beautiful young Polynesian - American lady. Her skin tone was very
unique and quite a change from the typical Caucasian or African American I'm used to.
The reference photo was taken with extreme back light in a dining room, but I thought her
beauty really popped out with a lower key background.
As I said, be gentle ...
