Portrait of Us (As of Feb. 20, 2017)


This morning I did some more work on this painting. This is a double portrait of a couple on vacation in Greece. My reference for the portrait is their favorite vacation photo that shows them riding a motorbike and wearing helmets and sunglasses. Today I started with by adding still more light to the woman's face.  I made some changes to the her shoulder, and worked on the man's shirt.  There is not much room to show the background, but I am indicating what little I can see in the photo (and in the reflections in the sunglasses). For the rest, I want to use the bright sunlight and reflections of the water to convey a sense of the place. To be continued. . . .
