This is a painting of a young woman I know …. it is painted from a photograph, ….
I have never done this before … and it has taken a long time for me to finally give it a try. The little girl who was ‘on the inside’ will be four years old this May! And she has a little brother. The young mum – who wanted a painting of herself – was too tired to sit for me when I arrived with my paints, so we agreed that I would take photos and see what happened….
The picture is still in the early stages …. and I am unclear how much of a real protrait will be possible …. we will see…. it may turn out just to be a pleasant painting… which is done from a photograph and thus has no real … life or validity…
Third stage
This was the first stage …. but the figure was not placed correctly …. too big for the canvas so I had to rub it out and begin again…
