Juicy Reflections 8" x 8" oil

This seemed gigantic after the 4" x 4" face paintings. I wanted to try using glass over colored paper for my base to see what kind of reflections I could get. I had to adjust my light just right to get the reflections.

Empties 6" x 6" oil

I paint facing a corner in my living room. This window is to my right behind my easel. In January I got out these bottles to add some colors and interest to my corner. With the bright white snow in the background the bottles are really beautiful.

faces # 7 4" x 4" oil

It was fun to do this background.

face #6 4" x 4" oil

This is a girl , just incase you can't tell. I had trouble deciding what colors to use for her skin because she is so fair. I think she came out a little chalky. I was attracted to the photo because of her beautiful blue eyes and her dark eyebrows.

face #5 4" x 4" oil

I liked this photo a lot with the sunglasses, headband and earring. I tried to paint it very loose and thin so the under painting would show through in some places.

Face # 3 4" x 4" oil

I liked doing the hair on this one and the orange highlight on the right side of her face.
