Jordyn with Pearls


Jordyn has a wonderful vintage clothing collection, as evidenced by this fur stole. The hat, however, is contemporary. I thought it was perfect for this over-the-shoulder, Vermeer like composition. When this painting was dry I applied a thin glaze of crimson to her lips to slightly pronounce their color. I also used a touch of cobalt to hint at her deep blue eyes. Jordyn, by the way, is herself quite a talented artist.

    The brush strokes and color blending are so nice in this painting...rich and evocative.

    Beautiful job on the fur stole... I can stare at this warm, cozy, and as Lauri says, "rich and evocative"" painting, for a long time.
