Hi...and welcome to my art work! This was one of my first paintings and the first portrait I did. It was a study in value and was supposed to be a self-portrait. But...I didn't want to do ME so I did my granddaughter instead! LOL The bottom picture is the value study. In the top picture I added tinted glazes and some oil paint. It doesn't have a lot of detail being so new and not knowing any better! LOL I hope you enjoyed your visit today and will stop back again. I do appreciate your feedback/comments and thank you in advance for them. May you have a blessed day!! :)

Your granddaughter is great. But I would still like to see a self portrait. They are always very interesting from an artistic and a psychological standpoint. Keep up the nice work.Olga Zverlina 23 Feb 2007

wow, 1st? indeed a splendid job you did here Ruth, Bravo!Janet Gioffre Harrington 07 Feb 2007
They're both wonderful, Ruth. I have a tendany to go for the black and white, though. Great study of value. I noticed the sleeve in contrast to the front of her shirt, no outlines, just difference in values. Very good work! She's pretty, too!
