16" x 12" Oil on canvas

This is a portrait done for the Different Strokes From Different Folks web challenge. It’s always interesting to try something new. I have not done a full portrait painting since I was in college quite some time ago. Enough said. This was a lot of fun and I hope I came close to capturing her character. Once again, I really wish I could get myself to loosen up. I need to practice that. Maybe next year. The fun thing is that I have no idea who this is. I suppose I will find out eventually. Get on over to the challenge web site and check out all the work that is there. There is a great mix of styles to peruse.
