Finished Caroline

14 x 14 acrylic on stretched canvas

I have done about all I set out to accomplish on this one.  I wanted to do a "fun" portrait for the children to hang over their beds.  Caroline has pinks and purples and other warm colors in her bedding so I decided to make the portrait in those colors.  She is not a red head but rather a warm blonde!  I tried to stay graphic and caught myself trying to over-work it so I just quit!!!!

Initially Caroline

14 x 14 acrylic on stretched canvas

This is after my first session on my granddaughter.  I wanted to do a fun portrait in wild colors that she likes like pinks and purples, and then the oranges and reds I favor  so I decided to try acrylic.  I bet this is the first time in 30+ years I've attempted painting portraits in acrylic.  I see many areas that need work, the main being I either need to raise one eye or lower the other....what to do????  Anyway, I have a long way to go but it's a start.
