"200 Faces, No. 117"

4 x 4"
oil on panel
sold

Oh happy day when painting comes easy.  The one before this, I spent about 4 hours on, didn't quite finish, went to bed, came back to it the next morning, spent another 2ish hours on it then wiped it off in total frustration.  I was so sure it was a winner and poof, it was gone.  Every day is a learning process.

Part of my ongoing series BUST-ED.

    Glad to know a wonderful painter like you has days like that! I understand the "poof" thing completely!

    Another great portrait. I really like how you have captured the expression and the glasses are just fab.

    So true, somedays it just comes easier than others. I guess we need difficulty at times to force us to grow. I love your faces series! They are all so lovely!!
