From a photo by Victorian photographic genius Julia Margaret Cameron. This was yet another failed background experiment that somehow worked. The portraits painted without an initial sketch, fast and loose. Just playing with color really.
the orange and red vibrate against the background. Painting the hair like that gives the sisters a very sprectral feel too, great piece Geri, I too have been fore going an underdrawing, it gives the piece a whole new character. Well done!
