[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Here they are, finally finished after weeks of sneaking in and out of these children's house (the portraits were a surprise for the father). The girl's portrait was painted from life, the boys with the usual B&W photo references, oil on linen.

I would have liked to have a little more room to move around, but the mother was very keen on the small size, so I had to stick to head and shoulders. I think though that this size gives them an intimate and cosy feeling, and I tried to suggest some relaxed pose to avoid the passport photo effect.

The painting are all the same size, but I have a brand new Mac computer and still have to figure out how to manage photos properly! I hope you will like them, thank you for looking
