My (almost) first portrait painting

Having visited the Bonn art museum today and having seen a lot of painted portraits I was so inspired that I couldn’t sit still. When our friends Mer & Joolz had been here recently I had made some portrait photos of them and one of Mer came to my mind that could be a good model for a painting:

So I did what I’ve only done once before: I painted a portrait. I’ve drawn quite a few portraits before but such a painting was new to me…

EDIT: What could not be seen well from the scan above is that the hair as well as the iris are painted with gold. Which leads to a change of appearance of the painting depending on the angle from which you look on it.

Here’s another photo from a different angle that illustrates this effect:

Schreiben und Sprache sind mein Ding, deswegen führe ich hier Bloggespräche und blogge über Persönliches, Digitales und Kulturelles. Ich liebe es, Menschen zu fotografieren und mich mit Kunst zu beschäftigen. Manchmal schreibe ich auch noch was anderes als Blogbeiträge. Ich bin als Wegbegleiterin in Sachen digitaler Kommunikation unterwegs und lektoriere Texte von anderen. Vor allem bin ich aber eins: Ein Mensch!
