Kindyl

Kindyl 10x8 Oil/Panel

As a general rule I don't paint using other people's photos. I will occasionally if I have their permission to do so and I'm struck by the image, or if it's a commission and I don't have access to what I'm painting to take my own photos. This is painted from a photo that Kindyl took herself and I thought captured her personality so I used it as reference material. Of course the lighting was bad and her color was washed out but that's what you get when you take a picture with a phone. The painting is a practice painting and will never be exhibited except on my website and here and will certainly not be for sell. It may wind up as a birthday present or something because rumor has it she'll turn sweet sixteen soon.
