Sharon,
They say that every painting is a self portrait. When seeing it in the golden frame I see that it is right, she's your inner rococo girl in blue jeans. I like it.

I have also used the wax medium, I made it my self by heating linseed oil, litharge and beeswax.

I was rather timid about using the wax, but as it has so many possibilities I will keep experimenting with it.
My recipe is called The Rubens Medium.

Just beautiful, Sharon, and very "Pinkie"!

I've enjoyed seeing the work in progress and now your masterful finish. Thanks for sharing it all with us.

Distinctly Knettell

A very recognizable Sharon Knettell! Forget Klimt, I love your paintings more than his work...

Been working like mad on a painting...hence, out of the loop.

This is beautiful as always Sharon. I always love your inimitable color, but this time I'm quite taken with the low-ish angle of the light and what it does playing across her features.

(Thanks also for the pic of the dummy. It's a great aid, obviously.

Another masterpiece!

Best--TE

I love seeing the close - up !! There is SO much to be said about surface quality, and impossible to see in any other way (well of course, unless we could see the original.But then we'd have to travel , un-glass pastels, and get ladders.)

Thanks, how about some more?

Thanks for the closeup, Sharon. It's always helpful. (You can tell which people are the artists in a museum because we're the ones with our noses an inch from the paintings!)

Oh, this is so nice. Refined blending along with some bravura brushwork. Now I'm even more impressed!
