FACE No. 86

6x6 Oil on Gessobord
Of course, I had to paint a mug shot.  I found this to be difficult with a limited palette.  It took a long time to paint and I fussed with it.  I am used to having various tubes at my fingertips.  This experience is making me more appreciative of those artists that can use a limited palette every time they paint.  I have a lot to learn! :-)

  1. I applaud you on your great work with a limited palette, Linda. It's not easy... takes a lot pf practice. I should do more of it. You've captured a wonderful expression in her eyes. Well done!
