Portrait of Marianna

16 X 20 Oil on Canvas

For the past year, I have been taking Portrait Classes with Ann Feldman and this is a portrait I started in her class using a live model, Marianna.  It was just  supposed to be a study, but I didn’t want to forget all of the things Ann taught us, so I continued to work on it until I felt happy.   I knew I was finished when Marianna (my model) told me she loved the painting and had her friends come look at it.
