Sarah




Sarah is someone I've fortunately come to know over the past two years, and it was my pleasure to have her pose for this painting. Having done a number of portrait commissions where I'm basically painting the person straight-on, I felt the personal need to do something a little more interesting, but still with a strong focus on capturing Sarah as accurately as possible.
This is oil on board, 18x24".

  1. I like the way you captured her face and the nice texture you gave the canvas/board, and I always, ALWAYS, love your atmospheres...there's something about them that is just so..wonderful.

  10. I can't tell if she's disinterested in the wine, or just waiting for someone to join her. Oh, the stories you can tell with your paintings! Awesome work as always~
