Anna




Hello everyone,

It's always a little intimidating to post in the unveiling section because there is so much beautiful work on this site. This is a painting of my daughter, I am hoping to use it as a sample and also for competition.

Thank you to everybody that helped me with advice on repairing the hole that was punched in it. I was able to fix it and there is little evidence from the front of the trauma. I am working on a portrait of my son that will hang with this. Hopefully it will not take me another 6 months to finish that one.

Thank you for taking time to view this.
Vianna Szabo

This is very beautiful Vianna! I love the way you captured her character in this piece. The eyes are especially well done. Great job

Alicia

Thank you, Alicia, she is quite a character. Capturing her personality and youth were a real challenge. I'm not sure if it is easier or more difficult to paint our children. The reason I put this in unveiling instead of critique is because I felt I had finally gotten who Anna is even if it is not technically perfect.

Vianna, a very convincing piece; Beautiful rendition of the skin tones, and very nice management of the edges.

Many many compliments on this painting. Even as a private work I am sure it will make a very accomplished portrait for your portfolio.

Ilaria

Vianna,

Just beautiful translucent skintones. She really breathes without it looking anything like a photographic copy.

Exquisitely done.

Hi everbody! This is Anna! You Said very nice things. Thanks!

This is Annna's mom, thank you again for the complements. Kimberly and Jimmie, I like the word haunting. When I started this I just wanted to capture her in her "tween" stage of life. One foot in childhood and heading towards adult at a rapid pace. (eye shadow and teddybears say it all) Maybe I put my own fears and hopes for her in there too.

Vianna
