Oil on Linen

Maple Shadow Frame

This is an Original Oil Painting

Not really meaning to do so, a lot of my paintings are like photos where the subject is looking right at me, the painter, and not going to lie, I just realized that recently. I am the generation of the kodak camera, pentax manual camera, the point and shoot, the cannon with the battery you had to charge. We have gone through some cameras in my day! So maybe that is why? I will never look at my iPhone camera as anything but a straight up miracle.

But I digress. I think she is a posing for me and if you start to look at other work of mine it has been like that for a long time. That is what is crazy about being a painter. Even I didn't realize that. But they just pose for me. And I love it. She is in very contrasting light the way summer can be. And of course she is earring a striped dress.
