Harley Brown said to do a version of Caitlin. So I gave it a go. I had the drawing off, t and the correction went off the canvas to the board. so i just blended out the hard edge there at the top. Just a practice piece.
I thought I would copy a Pino. I liked the way he abstracts fabric and of course I picked and image with more skin than fabric. But it was a major challenge for me, with it's top lighting. I spent six hours on this.
I was born in Kittery, Maine. My father was in the military and I graduated High School in Brindisi, Italy. I'm currently working in Texas. Francois Arenas started training me in the basics of oil painting. I have furthered my education with Carol Marine as well as Karin Jurick
