A Glaciers' Patience


This is one for Amanda >>her baby girl Alexis.
Hope to finish it in the next couple days.
I really like painting babies- if you never have you definitely should. It's completely different than any other portrait. I also like painting on square canvas now- whatever that means.
I have been painting with oil since I was 16, and today I finally realized how to correctly create space between the subject and background using solid color.  Ah, what a revelation. I'd been faking it all this time.
