100 OIL PORTRAITS IN 100 DAYS - Campbell, 96/100, © Carol Nelson Fine Art



Day 96

Campbell is such a little beauty. I can see her in about 10 years becoming a stunning young lady. In the first version of this portrait the reference photo had her left ear cropped off, so I just painted it with her hair pretty much covering it. It wasn't until I uploaded the ref photo here that I saw that her left ear actually showed. I had to go back and wipe off the hair and paint that blue ear in.
For purchase information, please see my website.

============================================

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I have an art show coming up next weekend. I am going to bring 20 older portraits to the show and they must be for sale. If you have not purchased your portrait yet and intend to purchase it, please complete the transaction before next Thursday, 4-29. All the portraits are on my website with Paypal buttons.

    What a beautiful child and you've captured that delightful sparkle in her eyes. Just noticed you only have 4 portraits to go until your reach 100. I'm going to miss seeing these incredible portraits of yours every day! I've noticed you've started quite a craze with some other artists following suit with their own subjects. Way to go, trailblazer!

    Another beauty Carol. I just went to your web page and hit view all in the portrait section. Wow, what an amazing collection of work when seen together like that. You must feel like a boxer in the fifteenth round after this project.
