6"x6", oil on gesso board
I am enjoying young people at the college. They are like humming birds in the fresh air.
I met Daniella at Pierce college art class I am taking this Fall. She is only 19 yrs old and so beautiful.
I thought I will do a quick study of her from a photo which I took.
Well! so much of quick study!
I was repainting over and over to capture my impression of her. It is almost impossible to capture just the essence from the photograph without copying the photo..
I had to stop here before I totaly scrub off whole paiting out of my frustration. At least I have something to revisit later to see what I was trying to achieve from this study.

My dear artist friends!!
Thank you so much for not forgetting me.
I missed you all. I will post something I am doing lately soon.
So terrific to see a post again! I have no idea if this is an accurate portrait or if it captures Daniella's essence but as a painting, I think it's wonderful! It has so much energy and I love the sketchiness. It looks alive!
I'm also so impressed with your commitment to fitness. It inspires me to get to work on myself!
