Meagan
Hi, my name is Jean Kelly, and I am a beginning potrait artist in Madison, WI. I hope this works (image) as I am not computer literate. I've photographed my painting with a digital camera and work on a Mac with iphoto. Meagan is painted with air brush ink, mixed with pastel, on linen. I paint with the ink like it was acrylic; it can be mixed with water for a wash, or used as thick as I want for intense colors. For even more depth, I paint into the added pastel (soft).
This was a candid shot that her parents took of Meagan with 4 week old puppies. There actually were 10 of them (puppies) and at times she was covered with all. Original picture had very bad lighting, but the subject material was so warm and wonderful that I went ahead anyway. What do you think? The client has asked me to do a portrait of their older daughter also, so will be working on that soon.
