This painting of fellow artist, Jessamyn Smith, was inspired by the Paint Your Person! at the Urbana Free Library on Monday, in which you went with a friend, and painted portraits of each other. It was a really nice event. Our libraries, and recreation centres offer many free art and craft workshops.If they have it again, consider registering for it.

(It could have used a little more shadowing, but we were limited on time)

Opinions, please !

As much as I like my portrait of Jinx, I was thinking about altering it because I would like it to look a little more like her. What are your opinions if I were to change it to be more like this ?

The first picture is the original portrait, the second and third the alterations that I am considering, and the fourth is the photo reference used to paint the portrait.

It has been a long while since I have done a portrait of Jinx, and this is the first impressionistic one.

This is another that I had done of Jetty some time ago. I did not post it at that time, because I was going to add to it. But then I decided against it because I did not want to mess it up.
I think it captures his [faux] intensity.
I am considering having prints made, and hand-colouring them, however

And, no, his ears are not exaggerated ! 😀
