We had a really good model for the Life painting session today. She was wonderful but she did have to uncross her feet at one point (due to discomfort)... so I "abandoned" what was going on beneath her knees. I always like painting two if I can, a full body and a portrait. I was mostly satisfied with my efforts, but I had contact lens struggles again today. At the end of the session I put the paintings in the trunk of my car to transport them. Somehow some big droplets of water got onto the portrait...but no harm done..... water and oil "don't mix".(Top) Painting: Celeste Bergin, Portrait of "C", oil on 16 x 20 canvas panel

The "Portrait of C" is really beautiful--love the colors.
And yesterday's box of See's candy looked delicious.
That's a lot of paint in one session! Love her red hair. Sorry you had to abandon the feet.
I like the brushwork in both. Looks like a good session.
Just beautiful, Celeste! I like your candies, too! :-)
She's so pretty! And the flesh tones look GREAT! Where do you guys find all of these redheads?!
Beautiful Celeste , I like both of them very much. The skin tone being a redhead is so light, and you got it really perfect. How do you obtain it ? I have been struggling with an oil portrait for a while, I never succeed in mixing the skin tone right.
they are very well done Celeste
Great job as always, Celeste.
Amazing Celeste well done you. I have painted the nude figure and know how difficult that is.
great job with proportions and light-not easy to do!
Love how your brushwork injects excitement into your paintings, Celeste!
I like the planes of the face, and love the whole overall effect. You are very good at this!
Excellent
Work
thank you for sharing
There must be a preponderance of redheads where you live. And, you always handle the color of their hair so beautifully. I love the portrait.

At first I thought that you were giving yourself a "C" as a grade! It definitely is much better then that! LOL!
Just scrolled down and I also really like that box of chocolates!
Very nice
