Julie - In Progress
Julie is one of seven small portraits I am painting for Francine, a client and dear friend, who lives in Caen, France. The seven are her grandchildren.
Francine was in Georgetown mid September and was thrilled with the results so far. I have finished one, have three that are near completion and three more to attack! All seven will be ready for her when she returns in May.
Working on such a small surface is interesting and challenging. Telling the story concisely and at the same time revealing the personality - spirit of each child - is the task.
I have met these young people - and as I become intimately acquainted through the portrait process - found it exciting to pin point each aura, and to allow the aura to permeate the canvas.
If anyone has an interest - I am accepting commissions at this time.
