Red Hair

Reddest hair I've ever seen - Of course I made it quite a bit redder than the reference photo (and added a red dress).

Maggie

Saw this on Facebook - the daughter/granddaughter of friends of mine. I loved her attitude. It's just a small sketch playing around with color.

Lady Criminals

Since I was trying to find black and white photos to use as reference material, I ran across these mug shots of Australian criminals from the early 1900s. I took artistic license with color and placement.

This woman killed her pimp.

Springmaid Watermedia Workshop - November

This past November, I had an amazing experience at Springmaid Watermedia in SC - I got to spend a week attending a workshop with Ted Nuttall, who's one of my favorite portrait artists. Other artists were attending different workshops at the same time and it was wonderful to talk and do art 24/7.

Recent Portraits

This portrait was commissioned as part of an auction event for my church. Had the added bonus of a kitty portrait!

This is a portrait of my neighbor (one of my former students) done from one of her wedding photos. Added bonus - their dog/child.
