I thought I would post every week or so after our Spain and Portugal trip but 2016 just flew by and I must confess I didn’t accomplish what I had anticipated. It was a year with lots of family and health stuff, so art making and travel was put on the back burner for a while.
I did manage to complete one project that was long overdue. Eighteen years ago I took some photos of my sister-in-law and nephew with the intention of painting a portrait. There is quite a long story behind the creation of this portrait, this one is actually version #2, but I won’t get into that today.
Finally, I was able to deliver this portrait much to the surprise and delight of my sister-in-law and her family. It is a pastel painting, 19″x 25″.

Thanks Monica. No, I didn’t use them for this painting. Actually haven’t used those ones much yet. Guess I better get at it!
