"Lady In Waiting"

"Lady In Waiting"
24 x 30 - Oils


I had to name this one "Lady In Waiting".    You can't help but wonder what she is thinking about.  Capturing the flesh tones and getting the correct shading on her back was very challenging for me.  This was definitely out of my comfort zone.  However, I was very pleased with the finished product.

Thank goodness I was off work today to put the finishing touches on this painting.  I haven't painted a still life in a long time and truly enjoyed this one.   It is amazing when you paint glass and you begin to add light - it brings the painting to life.
