Vogue Cover Girl from 1919 (I call) "A Day At The Beach." I wanted to actually feel the era. The dreams, the smiles in the mirror, so to speak. Never an ugliness - stylized beauty, staring, pouting, perfect. The ladies of Vogue. This is the first one. I want to do two more. I have fancy frames already to go.
Technically, it is a simple painting. I washed the umbella area with a thin white to tone down the color; that was a first for me, and I like that technique -it's quick and it works. I worked the skin tones the most by blending reds, browns, and yellows with white. The rest is mostly color over color. I had a blast doing the painting. I hope you enjoy. Charlie
