Well, unfortunately, i didn't have the opportunity to paint her while she was alive. I had to work from a glamor portrait of her and had to shoot my sister in law for the figure.
These are pretty tricky when you get a commission like this.
Rose passed away in 2001 and they were commemorating a room in the California State Capitol to her.
Anyway, I will get around to posting some close-ups when I put the final retouch varnish on the painting. There is some drying flat issues on it right now.
Best

Tony--
Nice job, especially with all the assembly you had to do with the pose. It's very believable.

Tony,
I think you did a great job on this. I'm impressed with the way you melded the head and body. It's so hard to give a glamor photo the timeless look of a portrait, but by the way you've posed your sister-in-law, the crossed arms seem as though they are in the middle of a gesture that goes well with the expression. The rose color (a play on her name?) is lovely. I like the way it gets cooler and darker below the arms.
