I made these two portraits at the request of a friend…

Brother and Sister

They are both on 8 x 10 inch Raymar art panels, and painted with acrylics. I LOVED seeing their adorable faces come to life. Working with portraits is so interesting, because you really do become attached to the faces that are taking shape in front of you. Though I roughly use reference images for facial features and poses, I never know how the finished portraits will turn out. These two were so lovely to work on! I became very attached to them. And I really loved working with this color palette too…my favorite color combination of the reds and greens.

They will be going to their new home this week, and I am not ashamed to say, I will miss them a little (maybe more than a little!).

I also have a few new things in my art shop, ArtcyLucy on Etsy. I hope you can take a look!
