Violin Girl painting finished



It's finished in time and I took it down to the Conservatory of the Ozarks this afternoon where it will be on display and available for sale. This Friday from 5 to 9pm stop by the conservatory and view all the music related artwork and enjoy the Conservatory's singers. The Conservatory of the Ozarks is located in Chesterfield Village and the address is 2132 West Chesterfield Boulevard Suite 103 & 104D Springfield, MO. 


The painting took me well over 60 hours due to it's complexity with the hair and the overall size. I was planning on making the background a lighter blue but it ended up being the bluish purple. Next up is another pet portrait!


- Here's a shout out to Brian for letting me use the wonderful photo for reference. Visit his Flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/coltfan909

Violin Girl Painting Progress 3





This may be my best painting yet even though there is so much detail it is taking me forever. Please click the pictures for more a more detailed view. After I painted the face I started on the hair and had to take a break so I've been working on the violin. After the violin is finished I'll start work on the hands. Have to finish this before the 18th of December so they'll be more posts soon.
