Isobela in Tahitian dress
 

I was unsure about posting here, but I'm feeling lightly seasoned so here goes. Here is Isobela, 30 x 40 inches, oil on prepared Masonite.

I'd love to have critiques, but I've already submitted this to competition, so please critique the next one (coming soon).

A high res image is here and a close-up is here.

Thanks for looking!
Lisa

I'm posting the closeup here for ease of viewing:

Wow I absolutely love this - so classic and yet fresh -

Congratulations!

Lisa, this is a very lovely painting, and such a beautifully painted face! I also admire your restrained color selection, it really adds to the gentleness of this painting. Good job!

Very Nice
 

Lisa - This painting has such a nice atmosphere to it. You may want to feature her more prominently on your web site :) - she's beautiful!

Congrats!

Thank you so much, Linda and Linda and Terri, and thank you Cynthia for posting the closeup for me. This is my second oldest daughter, a kind and patient model, and I do just love looking at her! Those huge liquid eyes - I hope I did her justice.

Terri - I would like to update my website this weekend. Thanks for the heads up!

Lisa,

Beautiful painting & beautiful girl!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Verrrrry nice indeed.

The skin and dress colors play off of each other really well, very delicate, and nice. :thumbs up:
