This is a detail shot from a painting on unfinished poplar I’m working on. It is a portrait of a family member that I found this great emotion packed photo of in my mom’s vault of photos. One side of my family has green eyes that are made of lots of little bits of brown and blue mixed together. The eye here is still a little too emerald green for my taste, but I suppose if the subject of the painting wasn’t there beside the painting nobody would be the wiser.
oh – yeah – I had no idea there was a hair in there until I opened this up in photoshop. The image above is actually larger than same area on the real piece.
As I was moving the camera around I giggled when I saw a Mark Ryden (google it) painting in the viewfinder:
Now I know his secret!
