They call me Mr. Pleats



Finished with the painting previously posted. Added details and depth in hands..and a better photo since last look. Still not a perfect copy....I'm seeing some glare in lower right corner. Also a little more work on the baseboard and chair. Model, Katie T.
24x36.

The painting is gorgeous Martin. The composition worked out very nice. Congrats on the pleats...never in a million years would I have attempted to paint those, heck I was afraid to hem them much less paint um'!

I'd much rather paint than hem...mistakes are more forgiving in paint.

And they should call you Mr. Pleats; outstanding...still love the blocks of color and now, since working on the hands more, I love the way her fingers lead you down the dress!
