I finished this painting today. It is another in the series for the woman with the dream story (see below). She wanted a fantasy landscape in which she is dressed in costume reminiscent of the 14th century. We consulted with my book of period costume and I gathered that what she wanted was a bit more fantasy than strict reality. In any case, I think she looks quite beautiful (which she is, actually).
I include a detail of the face. As the painting is about 11 x 15 inches, this detail is less than two inches tall (5 cm.). I used my big, illuminated magnifying glass, which I keep bolted to my desk to do it. It's work like this that has driven me to reading glasses...
Acrylic paint on paper. 11 x 15 inches (27 x 38 cm.)
