Beauty in my World: May 2012

About Me

Location: Quispamsis, Canada

I am mainly a watercolor and Pastel artist but I am open to various mediums. I have been painting since 1992. I have travelled alot and have sold works and prints internationally. My works have also won awards. I used to be a member and for a short time president of a local art club however I found the Politics and Personalities interfered too much with my time that could be put into my work. I live on the east coast of Canada and I paint our local beauty as well as the Carribean and the Mediterranean.

Molly Finished

I have now finished the painting I have been doing of Molly and Framed it.
She now hangs in my stairwell. I darkened the background and added more highlights to her hair since the previous post.

Molly Wip Step 5

Another evening of work to do the fine tuning and my portrait of Molly will be finished.
As you can see I have worked a lot on her hair which is actually a light brown with both red and blonde highlights. I have also filled in her plaid dress.
I have set the painting up where I can look at it for a few days to decide how to finish it. I may add another glaze to the back ground to darken it some but I am not sure yet. Molly's hair is fairly fine in texture but curly and goes in many directions so I think I have captured most of that.
I am very pleased with the skin tones.
