"Threading the Neddle"11 x 14 Egg tempera on gessoed panel
Not for Sale
I finished it!! Talk about stewing over something.... I did! I suppose the reason was because this was a painting of how I remember my grandmother Worley who passed away in the 80's. I was trying to get it to look like her, which it does..SOME.. but not to my satisfaction! I only had a small frontal view photo of her and it was very hard to see, so I just tried to do it from memory. She was a quilter and made many beautiful quilts.
I am glad to finish this! Click on it to see a closer view.
Egretta, I was wondering who the model was... There is a distinct family likeness between your grandmother's picture as you have painted it, and the photo of yourself in your Sidebar - so I reckon you must have done better than you think.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good and looks like her. Alot of detail in the painting too. My blogger was down for a couple of days so I couldn't comment on posts.
