3. Focus on Detail!

To continue . . . I like to "scale-up" images and focus on textural details. This portrait of my dear niece, Francesca, was great fun to paint because of that. The photo was taken as we opened Christmas gifts a few years ago. Fran received a cool handset that plugged directly into her iPhone, and a swell furry headband. I decided not to show the iPhone, and scaled-up the image from the original photo to direct focus towards the center of the painting, on her expression. Where the photograph is about the telephone, the painting is about Fran!
