Dressed For the Town


sold

I spotted these two gals coming out of the downtown library in NYC last spring. I spent about 5 years on each of their faces. When I paint from photos, they are generally on my laptop. It helped with the faces to zoom in on each while I worked on them. Can you tell they're smiling?

This painting is terrific, Carol! I know what you mean about spending 5 years on the faces-and your patience really paid off. Of course I can tell they are smiling. I wonder if people ever recognize themselves in your work. Great job.

Having just found your book, I am totally inspired by this. I love your use of light in this little painting. I hope to do as well. Very nice!

I bought your book and love all the suggestions. I enjoy seeing your daily art work and yes, these two women look like they are having a good time together.

You certainly can tell they are smiling. Stunning! Love the colours, and as always, your expressive brushwork!
