Judging Judy
A new painting, inspired by an image in a book I saw, but can't remember where, my first portrait! We call her Judging Judy, on account of the look she has on her face, like she is thinking "bless her heart." In this case, Southern for "oh dear, you are bat-shit crazy, and I don't want anything to do with you!"
I absolutely adore her: her expression, the play of patterns & color, the way you framed her in the painting. Oh, I hope this is just the beginning of your foray into portraits...
