Beckon

This is an acrylic painting on board. I used artist quality acrylic paint as well as "Jo Sonja's Artist's Gouache Iridescent" paint over the white dress. I haven't finished the eyes completely yet, but who knows when I will get around to finishing them! So I thought I would post some more traditional painting on my blog.
This is my first painting of a person. I had drawn people before, but never painted them. I used a photo of a relative as a guide.

These are close ups of two areas to show the types of texture techniques that I have used. Can't think of anything else to say! Gosh!! I am so boring at writing in my blog!!
