Sian

This is the last post for 2013. The photo shows a bit of reflection on the left side of her hair which is not there in life.

This portrait was started in class and then finished in my studio from a photo. Sian is the second human head that I have painted. She has had two rounds of glazes, one by me and one by Edward Povey. I learned from him that I should be more aggressive in my glazing. Sian's portrait is part of my ongoing learning and practice creating form with warm and cool colors. Good bye Sian and sleep peacefully.
