Saturday 16th August 2008 - Rosa

Rosa is the 12 year old daughter of a good friend of mine. I painted her a year ago which you can see further back in this blog. It was a rainy morning so we painted back in the Chrysalis school again instead of in the Fechin Garden - at least the light doesn't move so much inside, but I have enjoyed painting outside.

Wednesday 10th October - Harem

I was glad to have a second session on this painting. I started it last Wednesday and was happy with the face but the rest of it needed more work. Christina looked so exotic in the headdress, holding the bowl so I painted the background to look as though she were in a tent in the North African desert. A friend in the painting group suggested I put a camel in the background...
