Maria




This portrait depicting my granddaughter Maria, was painted from a photo reference which I posted earlier on the photo critique section of this forum. My goal was to create an interesting painting, rather than an exact photo reproduction. Since I am a poor judge of my own work, I'm not sure how successful I was. Nonetheless, I'm reasonably pleased with the result, considering the challenges involved, which were: trying to keep the the brushwork "loose" and figuring out the colors in the shadows.
