Here's the painting that started it all! Figurative and portrait work is new to me and oh so rewarding. It makes me wonder why I put it off for so long! Can you say addicting!? This painting is of the lovely Samantha Matthews who graciously sat for myself and a group of fellow painters. Her gorgeous hair, makeup, costume, and even the antique furniture were all arranged in a way to lead the viewer to a time and place of beauty, plenty, and simple elegance. I loved how the soft and hard elements of the flesh, fabric, frame, and floor all worked harmoniously together. Thanks for looking! Shoot me a message if you have any questions. :)

I love both the pose, and the soft edges in the painting... very beautiful.
