I saw a photo taken by a FB friend of Lauren, her daughter, sitting on the beach. Beautiful young teenager peacefully getting her vibe on. The scene is yet another moment I love to paint. Strong females and beaches.
Pose for me
The first picture above is my post on FB. I didn't write her name but I was thinking of her the entire time I was adding my foundation. She exemplifies where I want to be and maybe she does for you as well. Warm and sitting in the sun with a pose that speaks relaxation.
Now, hold still
Free handing a silhouette of her was the best moment of this painting. It was easy to look at the picture and put her shape on the canvas. Maybe my proportions were not exact but I enjoyed the 20 minutes or so doing it. Right now the image seems dreamy, unreal. There is a girl there. She seems to be saying to me, "ok, I will hold still but you must paint quickly. I have a future to continue". Our youth have been holding steady for about 5 months. They are strong to be doing so.
Now say Ohm
Not quite done
