I've been within an hour of finishing this painting since early December. It's been tacked to a board waiting for me to get a small break from commissions. Shown is a detail, still unfinished but close. I'll post a final later when it's stretched. Model is Katie T in a dress overflowing with pleats. Intimidating color and details but it's been fun to paint...we should always challenge ourselves. 24X36.

Beautiful painting and fantastic colors. Bravo!
Beautiful composition in the solitary feeling of the figure alone in the corner, and I love the composition of the color "blocks", the vertical purple mass broken with the horizontal turquoise band and the 2 red corners of the chair. Wow, wow, wow...hurry up and find that hour to finish this portrait! :-D
Very beautiful. I can't imagine having the patience to do those pleats, but it adds great texture to the painting and really makes it a stand out. I LOVE the punch of color from the red chair, too.
Oh, thank you all. It's been a fun one. I hope to do another one or two from the same shoot. Angela...your graphic design background is showing! You've all encouraged me to finish this over the weekend...if the football game doesn't get in the way.
