Today's face is the painted version of a drawing I did months ago. I really liked the drawing and at the time I was pretty amazed that I was even able to create it. Now, because of this challenge, and months later, I decided that today's the day to try and paint her.
I had a general color scheme in mind but did change the eye color after painting for a while. Funny that I seem completely fascinated with how the long, flowing hair should look when I myself haven't had long hair in a long time. [flowing hair has been a pretty constant theme in many of my Faces of May]. Interestingly, because of chemo I didn't have any hair for many months. Maybe that why, I really don't know. Overall I'm happy with the piece and learned that I would do a couple things differently next time.
Happy Mother's Day to those of you who have had the honor of helping to shape the life of a child whether he was yours or not.
