Day 51
This lovely lady is Kay. I probably wouldn't have picked her photo to paint because it is a flash photo looking directly into the camera. By now, you know I hate that kind of photo for a painting. Kay is a collector who has purchased more than one of my paintings, so that gives her special status. I emphasised the brushwork in this piece to give it added interest.
For purchase information, please see my website, or email me at carolnelsonfineart@comcast.net

Kay is sure beautiful! You've handled her hair and her eyes with perfection, Carol!
I can tell you had fun with the brush work - turned out great!
You handled this flash photo really well Carol...The highlights and strokes came out making one think it wasn't a flash photo!!
Carol, this painting is great because of your brushwork . . it makes the painting lively and the lady is pretty.
