I’ve uploaded into the portfolio section some photos of the first healthy families portrait I’ve been working on this afternoon. I worked from a Polaroid snapshot the girls fiance took of her against the shower curtain in their bathroom. I gave her a Polaroid camera and a pack of film to take home and bring back this week, and I just love the photo of her against the curtain. She is wearing a pink shirt with white hearts and behind her are lilly pads. It is very surreal. I like her stoic expression mixed with the youthfulness of her clothes and the patterns. I’m going to work back into the painting tomorrow, bringing out better flesh tones and reworking the paint after it has dried a bit.
