For years I had been portray on small items of paper from our eating room desk — I did not really feel I had sufficient house so as to add an easel and bigger canvases into the combo. However now I’ve the house for a portray space for myself in my dwelling workplace and have been portray, incessantly, for the previous few months — nights, weekends, over winter break — portray, portray, portray.
I get quite a lot of pleasure from portray my family members, imagined folks and scenes, and self-portraits too. Attempting to get an excellent likeness, but additionally engaged on capturing the spirit of the individual. That is the toughest half actually. A few of these work I am very proud of, others I can barely take a look at and preserve hidden away in my closet, however with every new portray that I do, I study one thing new and am loving the method so, so a lot.
This one is a “mixed-media” piece. I used wire for my curls. Pun meant 😉
