Leaving

Hi friends! I took a very long break from my figurative and portrait efforts to concentrate on learning to paint exclusively from life. Mostly, that means I have been painting things like teacups and flowers for the past two years. As I gain confidence, I've now more recently begun to paint portraits and figures from life. I got the itch to paint my little one before she grew too big, so I took some time out to compose this painting, "Leaving," about her life and all that she is and will become. Thought I'd share here.

19" x 13" ~ Oil on linen
