Toni

[Garth Herrick]

Hi folks,

Here is a relatively quick and modest portrait of a very nice doctor for a women's clinic. Toni is simply dressed in her professional way. Her background is a large abstract painting that has personal significance to her. What could be more simple? This was realized both from photographs and several live sittings. Among other things, I painted her navy jacket from life, which is interesting because there is virtually no blue in most the painted navy color (color interpretation being a relative thing). I hope Toni's kind nature comes through.

30 x 23 inches, oil on linen (Fredrix Rix double lead-oil primed). As always, your generous feedback is appreciated.

Garth
