Carly 40”x32” Oil

I painted this large painting a while ago, and at the time the wash character of the painting that seemed appropriate to the way this beautiful young woman posed, and the wonderful clothing and shoes she wore, simply prompted me to stop and leave it as is, mostly in a an unfinished State, with some refinement where I thought it needed. I have this on our wall in our home, because something about it I like a lot. All my portrait paintings are done from life. I am not sure how long it took to paint  this, but it seemed every intuitive brushstroke was to my liking, and was there to stay.
