Dear painters, art aficionados, and art explorers everywhere. I would never have guessed this journal would keep my interest for so long! Join me as I learn about the processes of painting, drawing and at times, the history of art.

Portrait Practice 3 - 5

 

Posting a few at a time,
to bore you (& me) less, i hope.


 


Lt Colonel Amzi Barber

8 x 6 inches





Colonel John McBlain

Colonel Burton Hovey, Jr
oil on canvas
8 x 6 inches

This is a good on-going project for me. 
The paintings are small, fairly quick and I learn something each time I do one!

I do think of these young men, in 1942, going off to the war. (WWII)
Wondering if they made it back and how their life turned out.


I will eventually paint ... I don't know 25 ... 75 of these? Maybe 100! It is a challenge for sure because these are black & white tiny photos. I have to make up the
skin tone and I did make up the pink shirt. My husband says the shirts were probably tan or something light. The jackets would maybe have been dark green.

Thank you for hanging in there!

I love reading your hello's and comments, even if they are in the email!

Stay safe and sane and healthy!
