5 x 4 inches, oil on canvas, NFS
Again from the same photo but this time I painted her in oil and trying Hawthorne's 'spots of color' approach. I was just looking at Frank Gardner's 100 Mudheads Challenge site today and was glad to be reminded that I need to make paint spots that don't blend together. Every once in a while I have to relearn things because I get mentally lazy (or because my brain is just plain impaired). So in this study for the future portrait of my niece, I was attempting to follow Hawthorne's rule. And this is tiny if you will note the size. I'm not used to making such small strokes with a little bitty brush. Tricky, but a good exercise for me.

beautiful color and a very sweet face
Well, my goodness. She is a little doll. I heard what fun y'all had at Roddy Tree. TB loved meeting you and was influenced by some wisdom you had. It's good to be a role model! Love this painting and your comments.
L'ensemble des tons que vous avez utilisés sont sublimes et j'aime particulièrement cette jolie petite "bouille"... pleine d'innocence... belle peinture.
Gros bisous
