I just completed this lovely figurative portrait of Carol and Jerry – beautiful people, they are. This is an 8×10 oil painting on a canvas panel. My palette on this portrait – believe it or not – is the same as that of my animal paintings adding cerulean blue (Erikie’s favorite).
Truly a challenging piece for me, since I don’t paint too many people, but it’s another of those paintings where the emotion of the piece is more overwhelming than the intimidation of the challenge.
Still up for approval (so there may be minor revisions), I’ll post this final scan once it’s all done, dry & varnished.

What are you WONDER WOMAN? You are on a roll…
Hello, LeeAnn! Turnabout’s fair play… you stopped by West of Mars, I’ve spent a good couple of minutes staring at your portrait. I bet I could call up a character sketch that captured these people pretty well, and all based on your painting. In other words: your picture speaks.
I wish I was visually talented like you are. I’ll settle for words; they haven’t steered me wrong yet.
Wow you have been busy while I have been off at work! I love the dog picture but it does not catch me as much as the bird Titto did. Guess that is the cat inside me but I just love the vibrant colors in that one. The rose is a rose and by any other name would still be a rose!
But this one! Wow! :yahoo:
They are so real I could shake hands and introduce myself to them. You did a wonderful job on this one! Just fabulous!
:meow:
