The lated large format portrait painted from life in two sittings. Thank you to beautiful songbird Christine Nelson. |
The first sitting. Must get the eyes right! |

These large format portraits are mind-blowingly brilliant. I wouldn't have the courage to paint from life. How large is this one?
You inspired me to try a large portrait (36" x 28") which was risky as I've only painted 18 portraits so far (60 paintings in total: came to painting late in life). I would value your opinion, but try not to laugh :).

Thank you John. This one was a real challenge to do from life for some reason. I will take a look at your post and get back to you!
