I'm so excited to share this new painting with you! I've been working on it for almost 2 weeks a little bit at a time. It was inspired by a photo of my dear friend Lindsey taken by Devon, almost a year ago from now. I was repeatedly drawn to the colors and simplicity of the photo and had been imagining how I would use it in an art piece. I've been painting so many portraits lately in the same sort of style, it was nice to branch out a little and do something more realistic looking. There were a few struggles in this painting; as you will see from the original photo, it's rather unfocused and almost dull, and difficult to see the details. So I had to just go by my mental picture of what Lindsey's beauty looks like. I even had to go visit her and stare at her nose and mouth to help me with those parts of the painting. Otherwise, I absolutely LOVED creating this and absolutely LOVE the finished painting!
Thank you Lindsey for your beautiful face and letting me use you for many paintings!
