100 OIL PORTRAITS IN 100 DAYS - Michelle, 61/100, © Carol Nelson Fine Art


Day 61
This is Saundra Lane Galloway's daughter Michelle. I love the photo, but the shadows from her hair gave me fits. First I had them in there just like the photo, but they looked like a weird tatoo, so I smudged them a bit. I also added some more highlighted hair curls so you can't miss them. I'm still not sure if I succeeded with these shadows.
This painting is sold.
