I was doing some research for my Baba paintings and found some old photos that I found really interesting. I think this is a family member from Russia. I painted this small 5x7 inch acrylic painting from a black and white photo. I used strectched canvas and painted a bright warm red as a base. I also gave her a yellow pencil... not from the time... she had an ink pen and ink jar... but I wanted to add some yellow warmth to the image. Hmmmm.... was it wrong? or could this be like a game... what does not belong in the picture? (Where's Waldo-ish?)

Oh Maria, she's wonderful! You really gave her an intense look of concentration and I love the yellow pencil! It's exactly the "right" touch to make this piece your very own!
hello. thank you for stopping by my blog.
Your painting is very nicely painted-
re: the yellow pencil-- the artist gets to make those decisions :-)
Hello Maria alright,
Nice work with a good range of colors.
Made from photo to black and white is not easy.
Cheers
Thank you for visiting my blog. This is a lovely painting. I think the face is terrific with the soft light. I also like the subdued background. The painting works well..
This is wonderful, Maria. I really like the composition. Well done.
Great portraits Maria. Been enjoying looking through all your work.
