Day 24
This is the daughter of another artist, Julia Kulish. Julia said this pose reminded her of The Girl With The Pearl Earring. It DOES! Julia is a painter known for her large florals, but she tried painting this photo of her daughter last month (see the blog by clicking on her name).
I laughed, Julia, when you said you painted her mouth seven times. I remember a quote from some artist whose name escapes me: A portrait is a painting of a person where there's always something wrong with the mouth. I agree. I think I got her mouth a little more upturned than the photo and the lower lip is a little more pouty. Yup - there's always something wrong with the mouth. LOL

Amazing work Carol! I did a self portrait for class a few months ago, and I tried and tried so many times to get my mouth correct, but I kept failing! Everything was correct and you could tell it was me, until I put the mouth in, then it changed everything! No idea why. I thought it would be the eyes that would ruin it. Glad to see I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Carol.
