Portraits


The Gals have been saying... where are your portraits; how come you are not doing more portraits; how come you are not posting more of your portrait drawings? Well here I go...and there will be more to come. I promise; I really do. I love doing them but have been enjoying painting for the last few years, however, it is time to get back into portrait drawings. I have done a few impressionistic acrylic paintings too, which I loved.

One of my favorite TV shows is called "Star Portraits." It is a Canadian Show and it features 3 different portrait Artists each show along with their subject which is a famous Canadian. It is really interesting. I love the different techniques that each artist brings to the show. The person that they are painting usually has some unique reactions to their portraits. It can be very emotional to have your portrait done because it gives a little glimpse into how others view you which can be a little unnerving, surprising or scary.

"Down By The Bay" 9 X 12 Oil On Panel

There are times when you just need to pull out the palette knife and go for it. This was one of those times. I couldn't sleep one night and was tossing and turning, when suddenly I just felt the need to paint. So in the wee hours of the night, I pulled out all the stops and just went for it. The hues of Brillant colors melted like butter as they were applied to the canvas. What a great feeling, and then wouldn't you know it, I was tired, went back to bed and slept like a rock.
