The Model's daughter

I painted this in life class last night. This young lady is the daughter of another model the class uses, she is not only beautiful, but was a wonderful sitter. I was trying for a pensive looking painting and pushed the blues to help this along.

Purple Passion

This painting is from last weeks life session, it's another 3 hour study

Boit Daughters

This was an excersize for seeing masses. I copied an 8" printout of John Sargent's Boit Daughters standing 5' away from the source while painting so as to not deal with detail.
The actual size of the painting is about 4-1/2" square

Final Light

Apparently as a tribute to Halloween, the lighting on our model the other day was pretty creepy.
it was fun to paint with such drastic lighting, causing shadows in the least place you expect them too.
it's about 16"X16"
