Karissa – Almost Finished



This is coming along.

I still have some details and finishing to do.

I'm also deciding about adding the cute, if less than accurately applied, nail polish.  Check it out in the photo.


What do you think?

Karissa Beginnings



This is an unfinished portrait of my niece Karissa that I started some years ago.  I've pulled it out of the archives to finally finish it.

If you compare it to the reference photo below, you'll notice that I did some clean up to the original. That's the magic of portraiture!


















Here is the reference photo.

My sister Pat is the photographer and will be the recipient of the finished painting.
