New portrait. Little girl from the past. Tampa, Florida

“Girl with green eyes and long lushes”. New portrait-commission in 2021. I painted that portrait from black/white old photo of my clients. The reference photo was old photo in black/white from many years ago. I had to “guess” the colors of the skin, lips, hair, dress, etc. But during our first meeting I took a photo of the green eyes of my client – now a grown up beautiful woman. Because the photo was black & white painting portrait in color was challenging. But very creative and joyful to me.

My goal when I paint a portrait is to capture the beauty and the spirit of the person. That portrait was a result of a special collaboration of her husband and myself for her big Birthday party. On that photo – Just a few steps from many of creating a portrait.
