"12"

6 x 6"

What I love the most about painting people is capturing that kink of the hip or twist of the neck - whatever it is that makes it more candid or believable. You don't get that when someone knows you're looking or taking their picture. Just people being themselves is what I always want. This young lady was enjoying the paintings in the Art Institute of Chicago.

    Candid is exactly the word I'd use.

    Thanks for addressing my question, I see what you mean. This one's really nice, I like her flip-flops particularly. They look loose and slightly too big.
