Half-Hour Portrait

Oh how I love when someone with a face like this sits for a portrait.

I love the angles in this face.

OK, I think it's now safe to start posting all the portraits I painted leading up to the holidays. First up, one adorable, elfin boy.

Half-Hour Portraits This Weekend!

This was one of those portraits that remind me how much I love painting faces. Unfortunately, the half-hour portrait size didn't allow me to paint all the hair piled into a big, beautiful bun on top of this boy's fantastic face. We'll have to do a larger portrait at some point. I did, however, get a hug at the end of the sitting, which almost made up for not getting to paint the bun. Currently signing people up for sittings this weekend. Just shoot me a message if you'd like one!

Holiday Show This Weekend!

Look at this beauty. I've wanted to paint her for a while.
I'll be painting half-hour portraits all weekend at the Croton Artisans' show. Contact me to sign up in advance, or just stop by!

Something interesting happened as I was painting this portrait. I’ve painted a few other members of her family, but that was a few years ago, and honestly, I’m not sure I remember all of the faces. But as I was painting this portrait, I realized that I had painted certain of her features before—in a sibling, or her mom… not sure who. It was a strange feeling, but cool.

Second portrait of the weekend. Isn't she lovely?

I'm lucky enough to have been able to paint this beauty twice now.

And here’s the adorable brother. Sitting for a portrait was not what he wanted to be doing, but he hung in there, and I’m so glad! I just love painting these kids.

I’ll be painting at our local holiday show on Dec. 10 and 11, so if you’d like to reserve a sitting, just let me know. I’m also booking portraits for the Thanksgiving weekend!
