Oil on canvas (15" x 20")
This is a portrait of twin daughters of a friend and work colleague.
I started with a very detailed sketch on the canvas obtained by
transferring straight from an enlarged photograph using brown pastel
chalk. The time that I spent on the sketch really paid off, and
this painting was finished in about 16 hours all told (not in a row!).
I especially like the folds of the clothing and the hand at the left
which is not rendered in great detail but just suggested by a few
small forms of light and dark.
