Natalie

Not For Sale
12x9" Oil on Stretched Canvas

While painting a portrait of my sister several years ago, I began to see her son's likeness.  That is when I knew I was on the right track.  As I painted Natalie, it was encouraging to see the resemblance to her mother, whom I painted over twenty years ago.  This is done from a photograph which I took last summer on the beach.  My great-niece, Natalie.  Precious child.

I find the expression to be very moving and it makes this portrait come alive.
Loved your rose paintings too. Especially the way you painted them.

Thank you, Julie. Painting people you love is very rewarding.
