I (we) decided to turn Maggie’s head so that she could have her portrait painted too. We thought she might feel left out if everyone else had their faces painted. I also gave the guy in blue some simple features. I turned another head to paint her portrait too. It was hard, but hopefully everyone will be happy. I think she has a cute little face. I think in the painting it’s one inch from chin to hairline. It was pretty unforgiving and beat me up to there and back again.
Here’s how it was before:

I love that you changed and have her now looking over, good call, gives it some life and a shared feeling with the viewer. 🙂

Oh, I’m so glad you turned her so that we can see her beautiful face. What an incredible job you’re doing with this. As always, I’m in awe. Absolute, total awe.

I’m really loving these paintings. They remind me a little of Robert Bechtle, but more painterly. Love the brushwork and solidity.

I just looked up his work and it’s inspiring and beautiful. I’m flattered that you’d think of him when you see my work. I’d love to work that big and I love those old stations wagons he painted. His figures are beautiful.

It’s that sense of time passing or frozen – the family snapshot, the everyday scene. Keep up the great work!

I just read that he was raised in Alameda Ca, which is where I lived before moving here. A fellow Northern Californian. 🙂
