Hi Jonathan,
I'm so glad that you post some new work!
Powerful.
Thank you for being yourself when you paint. This painting is great and strong because you don't forget who you are when you paint. Keep being yourself, be confident, and have fun
Oh, I have a question for you... It looks evident to me that you have been nurturing the desire of painting your model for a certain time before starting to actually paint her. Is it the case?
Have you had the occasion of painting someone that you don't know in a short delay (i.e. without having a lot of time to impregnate yourself of the future painting)?
I am asking this because I came to realize that I personnally need a LOT more time to nurture the image I have of someone and the will of painting him/her inside of me than for actually painting the portrait.
So I wondered if you felt the same?
Anyway, thank you again for sharing this inspiring piece!
Sincerely,
Karine
