Silvia, Ariel, Ross/ 12"x15"/ oil on wood.
*The color is off in the photos; it's displaying much too blue on this computer. Note that the background should be bright white.

I had only these three passport pictures hidden away in my navy Japanese wallet that Cat gave me. If you'd like a portrait, scan and e-mail me a passport photo to paint from. I'm going to work on different subjects for a few days and will return to the portraits if I recieve jpegs.

~*~More paintings to come.

They look great. I'm definitely German. And I'm grateful for that bit of blue.
You were able to understand something crucial about Ariel's face. I think it's his mouth because something about his portrait looks right on.
Out of us three it seems you know your own face the least!
Keep painting. I will send you a scan of that random picture you found on the floor in Vietnam.

Ross,
When I saw Silvia's painting it reminded me of my Mom. You are really taking time to paint-that's great, keep at it.
