The 6 x 6 inch panel seems so small to me that I have been avoiding this common practice of daily painters, choosing instead usually at least 8 x 10, though I did some portraits in August in 6 x 8 and 7 x 9. But I decided that it would be interesting to try because in doing figure paintings, the head portion of the figure is often small. So I started out with 6 x 6 inch panels at the end of last week.
It's beautiful. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft sensitivity in this. Just lovely!
ReplyDelete6" x 6" is a great idea for a head shot. So very personal.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely sensitive portrait. I enjoyed catching up with your blog and seeing your progress with figures. On the Border has such sunny color and light.
ReplyDeleteMargaret is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece Kate.
Thank you all for your comments! Margaret is my oldest daughter though she is in Ohio, so this was from a photograph of younger days. She is a violinist I'm very proud to say.
ReplyDeleteJust visited your blog again... this portrait is special. Great job!
