This painting was done from a photograph provided on the blog Different Strokes From Different Folks, where artists are encouraged to paint or draw their own interpretations. This is my first entry of a painting on DSFDF. The blog is hosted by Karin Jurick and I must say the photo we are all working from, a shot of the front window of a wig shop, is truly diabolical. There are no less than a dozen mannequins in the shot.
I picked these three because I liked the sunglasses on them - a nice touch. I think the one on the right reminds me of Michael Jackson.
This oil painting is on panel size 5.5x8 inches.

I love what you did. I looked at the pic entertaining the thought of participating but couldn't come up with anything creative. Good job.

Carol, It is so funny, I was JUST on that site today, thought about it, and painted trees instead...BUT, wonderful!! Don't you think the one in the middle looks like you? Great to see you jumping right in to full time!!
You go girl!!!! I think you're the first to finish on the blogs I follow! This is awesome. I love it..... now the pressures on... argh
Thats way to funny... both of us posting our wigs today!!...Great job!!
Yes it is me in the wig :P I actually have a couple of them that I'm dying to try out and paint!!
This is great, Carol! I agree with the Michael Jackson comment, and I thought the long-haired "blond" looked a bit like Beyonce. I was also tempted by the sunglasses.
Love the way you handled this. It is a complicated subject and you did a great job.
Nice job on the DSFDF painting. I like the three you picked...including "Michael Jackson".
I'm still working on mine. I cut it down to 7 mannequins...but as I work on it (diabolical is the right word) three would have been a better choice!
Great choice of composition...very, very nice!
I thought of Michael Jackson too when I was painting it...so funny!!
Wonderful job, Carol! I really like your arrangement of them.
Nice job with this difficult subject! I like that you reduced the number of heads and focused in on just a few.
Very well done painting. I like the crop you chose...and yes, the one on the far right does resemble MJ!
I had to laugh at Michael Jackson. That is too funny. Very nice job on this, Carol!
Hello Carol - I love your painting here; very bold and very well done.
