Original oil painting 9.5"x10"
Young woman in formal green dress with pink roses, highlighted by the glowing light of the nearby window.
Of course this took longer than a day to paint, but it is today's painting! I very much enjoyed the challenges of this portrait.
This beauty is the matron of honor. She waits on the stairs just ahead of her sister who is the beautiful bride, soon to walk down the aisle. The little white box holds the ring for the groom.
Please contact me if you'd like to commission a painting of someone special.

Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Wow. You really have an affinity for figures! Love that you even captured her 'look'. What is she thinking? I love it.
You've made me smile reading your comments, Kelly. Thanks for the kudos.
To me it looks like she's thinking, "I know what love is all about, Baby... once you're in you can't get out." (apologies to Tab Benoit)
Or maybe she's thinking, "Hurry up so we can get this show on the road."
I like that green dress a lot.
Yes, she wears it well!
lovely.
Thanks Mary. I'm seeing a couple of little things I want to fix/change but it mostly feels finished.
