People are all unique. It’s essential to “capture” their likeness. The eyes are probably the most important. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. I find studying the subject from various angles helps. I often turn my canvas on its side or upside down to get a better look.

Spring Delight
16×20 acrylic on canvasWhen I was young we used to visit our cousins. I loved to go outside and swing. As I did I would sing patriotic songs. I found this image of the lady swinging and used by permission for this composition. My idea was to make it like stained glass.
Julie Andrews Portrait
