Julia (Model in Red Coat)

An original acrylic painting; expressive, colorist portrait in a contemporary style, finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

Lisa in a Straw Hat

A fashionable young relative of mine.

As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from each day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest.  It has been finished with a satin acrylic varnish.
