Melinda

Today I finished the portrait of Melinda.  I do a lot of portrait commissions.  Many are from a photo the client gives me.  Some are from the person posing for me.  Melinda sat for me.  It took about four sittings of a half-hour each.  I just worked from emotion.  Sometimes if I try too hard, it loses it’s magic and is boring.  This one captured her personality.
