I love these little intimate paintings. They are on a 1" thick birch panel
that hangs from wire on the back. The nice thing about these little gems is
that if you don't have much empty wall space, they don't take up much space and
can be hung in nooks and crannies in any room. They've been varnished to maintain
their color. I used acrylics, cray pas, colored pencil and permanent fine tip markers.
The model painting came from a sketch I did some time back at Kirkland open figure drawing studio. The Hispanic Woman's portrait was inspired by a photograph I saw that
was so intense I couldn't get it out of my mind. She has a wonderful "old world" look
about her that makes me think of "all of our grandparents" or "great grandparents", depending on your age!!! In any case she is part of all of us.
