Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolf?

[Clive Fullagar]

Just finished this companion piece to "Primary Colors." The sitter is the elder sister to the subject of the previous posting. A much quieter and gentler personality. She is just about to go off to graduate school to study English Literature - hence the book on Virginia Woolf (someone whose work she admires). The portrait is 20" by 24.' As always, I look forward to your comments.

Clive,

I like how you captured her gentle expression. That chair turned out pretty cool as well.

I like the range of colors and the simple brush strokes. Nice job!

[Thomasin Dewhurst]

Very nice work, Clive! Beautifully rendered face with such a convincing expression, and so well executed generally. Lovely!

(it's Virginia Woolf, by the way, not Wolf, and it's Who's not Whose - in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf)

Thomasin,

I am deeply embarrassed by my incorrect reference..particularly as I majored in English Literature. i wish I could call upon artistic license as an excuse, but alas I fear it is encroaching old age. Thanks for the positive comments about the painting.

Very Nice Clive, I'm sure her family loves it. I like the composition, her expression, and the simple brush strokes too. Now I'm going to have to go take a look at "Primary Colors" to refresh my memory.
