Emily, 20"x 16"
Oil on a realgesso panel. (linen).
She was so much fun to paint. This is attaching as a closeup and the full view, the blue background looks slightly off to me on my screen. Thanks for viewing this.

Oh, this is just beautiful Linda.

What expressive eyebrows - I bet she really was fun to paint.

The last two paintings of yours I have seen have both been gorgeous, but with especially lucious lips. I suppose credit can partially be given to the models, but you have a way with lips for sure.

Dear Linda,

Wow! This is an eye-stopping elegant portrait. She's painterly, lively and lovely.

Hi Linda. Eye-stopping is right! It seems as though she wants to bounce right off my monitor and into my studio. And she looks like she would have something interesting to say, too. Great work. Janet

Maria, why, I used Studio Products Gamboge of course! Potent stuff, but I think I'll keep it on my indoor palette. I also used Yellow Ochre and Naples Yellow Deep (Old Holland).
Julie B., Joan, Carol, Julie D., Alan and Michele, thanks for these very kind words of encouragement.
