Hannah seated 9"x12" oil

Hannah always poses so elegantly.  I struggled with this one trying to get a balance between cool and warm and not get to buried in detail.

I paint with a limited palette and when she showed up with this fabulous silk dress the two reds I had did not capture the color.   I had Cad. Red light and Alizarin Crimson and I needed Quinacridone Red so I added that when I got home.

This was a happy involuntary experiment.  I arrived at the Friday "Go Figure" session without any Gamsol (thinner) so I decided to paint with just paint.   Having no thinner also meant that I could not clean off my brushes in between colors and no wiping off any false starts.   I piled paint on my brushes and forged ahead.   I am happy the way it turned out.    Maybe I will forget my thinner more often.  This is what happens when you have too much time off from painting.

Maddie 9"x12" oil

Please click here for auction information.

Eleven year old Maddie is the granddaughter of a woman who paints with us on Friday.  She wanted to pose for our Friday group and had to wait until she had a day off from school.    She has been practicing for weeks and I must say she was a very good model!   All her practice paid off.
