Molly

This little imp is my friend's Granddaughter, Molly.
I drew her using a grid system but am learning to "map" the face to get a better likeness.
So exciting to have a logical way to attempt a portrait then add the details or not!

Catching Some Rays 10"x 10", oil on canvas

Trying to capture the bright sun that I haven't seen for awhile! Wanted to have lost and found edges so left the "trees" behind the girls. Feeling now they may be too even and too distracting. Darn.

Wedding Day

This painting is of my Mother on her wedding day.It was cathartic for me to pay close attention to the details to produce this portrait, For many years due to circumstances beyond my knowledge, I did not pay attention nor treat her well. She died when she was 50 and I did not have time to become a friend and show the appreciation she deserved. She worked very hard to provide a home for my sisters and myself.
I hope she can feel my caring, in the strokes of my brush.
