Traci

Most of the portraits I do are from photos — people just don’t have time for sittings.  In this case, I had Traci sit for me  six or seven very short times.  It was really relaxed and was a three-quarter view, meaning she was looking slightly sideways, not straight forward or a profile.  I had the chance to just paint my emotions rather than trying to do a photo-realistic portrayal.  The painting is impressionistic.  I enjoyed doing it.  Traci was a really fun model.
