Mary Ann, Chris, Cynthia, Michele, Alex, Debra and Enzie,
thank you for your kind comments.
This was a particularly nice experience because I have tried my brushes on Aud before with less luck and I think this portrait shows her the way I see her, and also because I managed to finish it for her birthday, yesterday.
It did not take long to paint, but I spent a considerable amount of time by figuring out how it should be composed before I actually started painting, the painting took two sessions / days.
The setting is in front of our house in the sunset. The sun is strong on the red wall while Aud is almost in shadow . I liked the challenge of the reversed color sceme, normally the background color is weaker.
