I like how this portrait came out, still not sure if I'm capturing my subject effectively, but I'm working hard at this... could be more to come.

About Me
- Kristen Reitz-Green
- Vashon Island, Washington
- I am an artist living on an island in the pacific Northwest. For the past year I having been painting exclusively in oils, mostly on board but also some canvas. For a few years prior to this, I painted furniture with acrylics in a style reminiscent of art from Oaxaca, Mexico. For many , many years before that, I was a professional french horn player. Life circumstances made me choose to put my instrument down permanently and this blog is evidence of my creative spirit coming out in different form. I love the practice of daily painting and after all the years in classical music, daily practice feels essential to art as much as it did to music.

I think this is a beautiful portrait of a quite handsome young man, Kristin. I am in awe of how well his hair came out, including that little cowlick in front. His parents (or grandparents) are going to be tickled pink!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely portrait, Kristen. I love how you modeled the form to give a sense of depth and shape.
ReplyDeleteThis is so engaging - his personality seems to flow right off he canvas to the viewer and the brushstrokes are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your style! Amazed at the personality and detail you've captured while still keeping it fresh and loose.
