Sisters. 36x18 Acrylic on canvas.
I am please with the way this one turned out. I started it as a painting for myself - another experiment with the multi-level toned monochrome (although technically I used blue for the background and crimson for all the other detail. I like that I extended the picture over the edges. I liked that I used thick layers of paint to add texture to the hair and fabric but kept the facial areas smooth. I also like how this one looked when it was varnished. I am not totally happy with the face on the right - it's not a close a representation of the person pictured as the other two. And I worked hard on tweaking my under-drawing to try and find what I thought was wrong but it still didn't come out perfectly.
