painting and picnik

This is a painting I did months ago. It's really not finished, but I'm so hooked on using Picnik that I just had to take this unfinished painting and play with textures.
I have a lot to learn in painting portraits but for now...just having fun.
I painted this one night not knowing who it was, my son said" could it have been you when you were younger???"
I don't know, but this painting moves me. It tells a story. The eyes are eyes of wonder maybe uncertain, she is trying to tell a story.
I do like all the crusty stuff and textures going on.

  1. I'm smitten! Truly. It makes you want to say to her, "Don't worry, everything will be okay."
