10 x 8 Oil on Canvas
This mother-daughter portrait was commissioned by an aunt as a gift and painted from photographs. I couldn't resist the bow and frilly dress in this pose. Capturing Susan's personality in her lovely dark eyes and rendering her beautiful teeth were the challenge!
What a joy it was to paint another young mother and her baby! Susan has now received the painting and I am told is thrilled with it! That makes me happy! And - in the meantime, there is still another commissioned mother-daughter portrait on the easel! Life is good!
Lovely expression , very natural.The lady looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Rosemary .
Hi Rosie, I follow the first comments you got. What a lovely expression of joy the mother has. I love the way you have zeroed in on the two , baby and mother. You are master in portraits.Silvia
ReplyDeleteThanks Rishi - your comments always mean a lot.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like this one.
Silvia, you always put a big smile on my face! I'm so glad you like Susan's expression - hard to capture it "just right"! Maybe someday I will have the opportunity to paint this pair again as Little Ella grows up!
