1st Painting Finished, Starting an Audrey






I finished my first painting (top picture) and now I'm starting a second, this one of the beloved Audrey Hepburn. I adore Audrey Hepburn, and always have, so I'm thrilled at the idea of doing a portrait of her now that I finally feel comfortable with my skill at doing so.

I also have ideas for another Audrey portrait and a Marilyn portrait planned, so that's where the bottom two pics come into play. The top one of Marilyn Monroe is a movie poster from Niagara, and the near kiss picture you see in it is painted from the same reference photo I want to use. My absolute favorite picture of Marilyn ever- the photo's far more beautiful than the painting, this poster doesn't do it justice. The second one of Audrey is similar to what I have, except that it's only Audrey and I believe her eyes are open. But to that effect.

Anywho. I'm having a lot of fun with this painting thing. :D
