Oil on canvas board 14" x 11"

The photo didn't quite capture the exact green in the background but I think it's close enough.

Marie Fox said...: Sheila, The first word that came to my mind is "Cool". I'm very impressed with your path toward abstraction and this latest painting takes a bold leap in that direction. Not that you have not painted abstractly but I applaud you for doing so with a portrait. This one is fun and really works.; 8:36 PM
Sheila Vaughan said...: That's a great comment Marie - thanks so much. I felt good all the time I was painting that one. (A lot of the time they are a pain and a struggle!).; 9:05 PM
jen said...: I like the green reflected on the face, very cool.; 5:12 PM
Sheila Vaughan said...: Thanks for the visit and the kind words Jen.; 5:22 PM
