This is a portrait (oil on PVC) of Marlene, a waitress in a local Mexican restaurant, who just turned fifteen and was celebrating Quince. Lots of blues and good flesh tones I think. I enjoy painting portraits and they do keep me from refinancing the mortgage. I would like to have more commissions though. Any ideas out there?? Perhaps I should consolodate my loans and only paint portraits for a living. Let me know what you think....

I've always liked your portraits because I think you get to the soul of the subject--at least in the ones I've seen of the people I know. On the objective side, I do like your flesh tones and sense of proportion in the portraits. I like the colors in this one too--the blues seem to complement her hair tones and I like the reddish tones and brightness on the right side of the background.
