Bahamas Bound 16" x 20"

Capturing the late afternoon sun was the key to the success for this painting. I am so happy with the way it turned out that I will be painting a larger version soon.

Ms. Ford

This is a 16" x 20" oil on canvas. Our weekly painting group is having a competition and the winner is the one who paints the portrait this woman chooses. She had the winning bid at a fund-raiser in August. The winner ALSO GETS PAID $400 FOR THEIR PAINTING.
I've worked on this for two sessions (4 hours) plus another 3 hours at home and although I hesitate to call it done I don't really want to overwork it.

Ballerina Finished

I am thinking of calling it "Little Women at the Barre". I made a conscious decision with the composition to direct the viewer from one girl to the next through eye movement and line. I am not completely satisfied but I think I have done all I can with it.

Ballerinas again- this one needs a title yet

16" 20" OIL ON CANVAS - it needs a little bit of work yet but mostly done.
