She'd sent me another photo taken at the same time with her eyes open, and I reluctantly offered to paint her eyes open, if she liked. But she agreed to this one, saying she wanted her family to be able to feel this emotion the way she did.<BR/>I get tears just writing that.Susan Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110529181768705593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183797.post-58153128603019023822008-08-31T05:17:00.000-05:002008-08-31T05:17:00.000-05:00Thank you, Dianne!

There was already an ochre undertone to their faces so I wondered if using yellows behind would allow their faces to show pinker/warmer in the foreground. I don't have any real, formal theory to fall back on, so sometimes I just have to try several options to see what works.Susan Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110529181768705593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183797.post-1956343527097194192008-08-31T05:11:00.000-05:002008-08-31T05:11:00.000-05:00Thank you, Beverly!

When the daughter first approached me about painting her mother, she sent photos by email, one with this image, and I suggested she think about including herself in the painting, as it told a more complete story.
