This is a portrait that I did of my mom's engagement picture. I had no idea I could paint portraits. This is done with a dry brush technique on a Fantasy Canvas. Completely done in sepia tones. (16x20 Oil on Canvas)
Kelly, Sure wish my site looked as good as yours. It is great and I see you have in about the art show. That is great. All your paintings are so good. Mary
I live in the rural south east corner of Ohio in what's commonly called Switzerland of Ohio. I've been married to my husband Marlon since 1989. We have 3 children, and 3 grandchildren. I took 17 years off of painting to raise kids, but started painting again in late 2007. While at the 2008 HOOT Painting classes in Columbus, OH I purchased a kit for Pen & Ink and Oil Rouging. Oh my, it's been so much fun learning this new technique. Portraits in the dry brush technique have also captured my fascination. My artistic talent is completely God given. I have never had any professional training, other than some local painting classes. I'm getting ready to venture into some watercolors, but I'm really not sure how that's going to turn out. I guess time will tell.
Kelly,
