16 x 20 oil portrait. I took a snapshot of this lady while she so graciously posed for me. I loved the hat and her stylish demeanor and couldn't wait to paint her. It is painted on dream kanvas using the dry brush method. Won second place ribbon at the 2011 Monroe Artists Art Show.
I had put my artistic interests aside for many years while working and raising my family. After retirement, I took a ceramics class and then a portrait class and joined the Monroe Artists in 2007 and haven't stopped since. I have taken classes at HOOT in 2008 and Homecoming Hues in 2008,2009 and 2011. I have also taken workshops by Dorothy Dent, Mandy Steele,Mark Polomchak and Cathy George. I am a member of the Monroe Artists and the Great Lakes Region.
