I'm attaching an oil painting I did a while back, inspired by the French Salon painters. It is 4'x2' on a acrylic gessoed panel. If I told everyone how long it took me to do you would all fall down laughing until your sides hurt.
I posed my own model (my niece) and even my own doves (those little stinkers are hard to photograph). It has many flaws but the struggle taught me a lot. I still find it hard to paint everyday subjects -- it's so much fun to dress everyone up in a costume!
Thank you.
