"Sunshine on my Shoulder", 12x16, oil
I loved the dappled light on the model's face in this outdoor setting, so that was the purpose of this 2 hour portrait study. I have only painted this kind of light on a face one other time, on my painting of Renaissance Child.
It's a little tricky to do, and I'm amazed that I pulled it off as well as I did in "Renaissance Child", because I was very new to painting when I painted her.
At any rate, I find these quick, non-fuss portraits very relaxing for some reason. I recall, talking to friend Tony D'Amico one time. He told me that he found sketching his amazing architectural renderings of New York City buildings very relaxing. I remarked that I would find that tortuous.
I guess we artists all have different ways of relaxing!
