Strong Women Series #8 - Supplication "Myrtle"

For painting #8 in this series, I found an image

 in a free image site online that I really liked, 

so I messed around with it a bit 

until I found something I thought might work. 

I guess it is kind of a double exposure sort of thing.

The following photos show the progression of the painting.

I didn't take as many as I usually do.

When I came to painting the hands,

I zoomed in on the photo to help me. 

Of course they're not exactly right, but that's ok.

Supplication "Myrtle"   oil on Masonite   18 x 12 inches

I just learned this new thing on the new Blogger format, that if you scroll over the image the title appears. I hope it works, but until I know for sure, I am going to write it under the photo.

So I think Myrtle is a strong woman. She takes no guff and appreciates life.

Is she a strong woman in your mind?

I so appreciate that you stopped by to take a look!
