I finished Autumn! And here was my inspiration piece that my sister sent me from a magazine...Doesn't she look like fall, with her red hair and warm colors she has on?
and here is my completed interpretation...I shortened her face a bit because I had already painted her without the color and realized after holding it up to Winter, that I wanted to be close in the size of their faces...now if this was a commission, where I was matching a photograph of someone...I would have started over.
and here I show her hanging on a wall at my house to show the depth of her colors. The shine on her clothes is wet paint. I am awful with being able to wait until things are dry to take the pictures!
Look at my previous post yesterday to see her progression...

Lori, I don't even know what to say--Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your gift!!
Hi Lori, this is fantastic and a really good likeness. LOVE it!! Thanks so much for sharing the process. I'm really inspired!! :))
wow- she is beautiful and so is the background with the autumn leaves!
Absolutely beautiful. it has a lot of focus and intensity to her gaze. love it. i also noticed you had one of my favorite photographers in your amazon line-up, julia Margaret Cameron. my favorite all time piece is in that book called "echo". mama. it is intense. it has a stare that pierces right through me, captivates me, the gesture is with the hands close to the chest and heart, as if her breath as been taken away, well in the case of the photo it was her voice (or so the story goes). your work reminds me a lot of ulia Margaret Cameron's Work in its presence. thanks for sharing. such a joy to experience!
Oh wow, Lori!! She's truly beautiful - you have such a gift!!

This painting really typifies Autumn in such a lovely way!
Beautifully done once again Lori....love the background and such a kind expression she has. I am so amazed at all that is coming out of you these days!!!
Your work is beautiful! I love this especially because of the tones and her almost Pre-Raph look. I have some catching up to do over here to see your other pieces. I found you by way of Victoria and her lovely spotlight of other artists.
Lovely to meet you!
