Close ups
Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Kay was the great hostess. Thanks for the terrific reference photos.
I decided on the triple portrait because of the loving, directional gazes. The silent gazes of these lovely ladies speak volumes! I brought the older girl in closer to the grouping. She was way out on the right in the photo.
On this figurative, I tried to avoid hard lines in the features and maintain soft edges. Exact resemblances was not my intention.
Almost entirely by painting knife. I like the exciting surface texture achieved
I hope you like it!
