My daughter gave me a photo that her girlfriend gave her from when she went to Italy. She thought it was so beautiful and asked me if I would paint it for her. I don't do too many paintings in oil but I enjoyed painting this. She loved it and its hanging in her living room wall. I added that this is a pastel portrait by mistake and cannot figure out how to fix it..lol.... but its an 18 x 24 oil painting.
Beautiful, beautiful. Lovely textures and soft colors. Wow. You work well with those oils and smoothing the paint around.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to edit your post and on the right where it says label/tag you can delete the pastel portrait and type in the new label.
Thank you so much Jo!!! I appreciate your comment and yes, I feel like a big girl because I did what you said..lol..thank you!!! you just taught me something I didn't know. Enjoy the rest of the evening..

ReplyDeletethank you Joan. I think the gate was one of my favorite things to paint. lol I hope you went to the Lavender farm in E.Marion. I can only imagine how beautiful your sketches would be.
