Katie Waxing Antique Chair
Hello Everyone,
With this extremely cold weather I cannot work either inside or outside on a studio that I am building, so I had a chance to finish a few paintings that I began over a year ago. The model for this painting was so good (in taking direction and in directing herself) that I decided to paint two pieces with her as the subject. (The second painting is nearly finished.) Since the original reference shots involving the model were dramatically different than this final painting, I needed to enlist the help of my wife as a second model: The lighting, shadows, and background were much different than the original shots. Although the glazing of the subject's skirt and blouse cannot be seen, the overall tone of the painting is fairly well represented in this image.
