Hi, I just loved doing this. I met this gal Nora on Ustream and she agreed to send me some photos of herself. She has such an interesting look with the blond dreads. I did make the decision to leave out her face piercings, she has one in each cheek and in her lip. I have several other reference photos so I will be painting her again. A bit of glare as the paint is very wet.This is oil on a 11 X 14 canvas panel. Thanks Nora

You did a great job, Barb. You modeled the face so well that it really looks 3 dimensional. Great eyes.

Welcome to my blog Nora. I am so happy you like it. What a fun pose to paint. I sooo appreciate the reference photos. :)
Sweet. You captured the attitude! That's amazing!

Well thank you Bill, tried to paint what I saw and not play with it too much.
What a classic face! You really caught this one just right Barbara.
I appreciate that Liz, so happy that you like it. :)
You nailed this one Barbara. Great character. It tells a great story
Well thank you Gary. She is a character and it was so much fun to paint. I think as artists we are always looking for people to paint that you can tell their personality by looking at them.
