I'll be adding paintings to this blog at irregular times. My old blog had as part of the title "painting a day" and I never lived up to that.

Sun Worship
Another in my series of portraits with exaggerated expressions. I'm not so very happy with this one (sorry C.)- it looks like I painted it from a photo (which of course I did). 16 X 12 oil NFS
Thanks folks; I first threatened to paint a pose that would tempt her to sue me- fortunately I thought better of it- lawyers are out of my price range. :-)
I'm mostly retired and living in an area that is one of the country's premier spots for beauty- the Columbia Gorge. My house/studio is located out in the country (1st time for this city boy) bringing both joy and challenges.
Hi Todd
ReplyDeleteLooks just like her

This is a great surprise--I think it is super-good! Is Mark Larsen up next?? Thanks for letting me be one of your "exaggerated portraits!"
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys like it; yes Mark is next to go "under the knife".
ReplyDeleteOh Celeste, you are brave! It makes me tickle inside!
ReplyDeleteTodd, so looking forward to your take on Mark L. too.
I think you captured Celeste very well...she is always smiling....
ReplyDeleteMade me smile. Looks like you caught her right at the best part of the story.

ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen of Celeste on her blog, it is a great likeness!
