Finally! After 2 failed attempts (almost 3!) I am very happy to present to you my latest painting. This portrait was a challenge! Not much room for error... a millimetre off on the upper lip or the brow line and the expression is completely different. On top of that, I decided to try something different: to work on paper mounted on wood panel. The surface is super interesting for portraiture, specially for me who does not like working … [Read more...]

New painting 2012
Her is my brand new painting "Hélène avait 4 ans" (Helen was 4 years old). I did this painting from a picture I found in one of my grand-mother's shoe boxes; it was taken in 1958 and today, Helen is now retired.
