Caitlyn - "He painted me until I'm blue in the face!" Painting

"CAITLYN - HE PAINTED ME UNTIL I'M BLUE IN THE FACE!" - Her face structure immediately caught my attention. I introduced myself as a painter and asked if I could take several photos of her. If I did paint a portrait of her, I promised to send an artist's print. She agreed. Days later, I found myself as intrigued with her luxuriant hair, and realized that I wanted to paint both her face and her hair in strong foreground coloration. It was perfect opportunity to make another vivid portrait using the Expressionistic Planes-of-Light method I had been developing (by Planes-of-Light I mean using gradations of tones or tints of a single color to create strong light-play on a faces and, in this case, her luxuriant hair. And yes, in making this particular portrait I DID continually rework her face until I found that particular blue's tints and tones, combined with her hair coloring structure, best radiated the energy I felt from her overall "look". This completed artwork will be mailed, stretched, with no hardware for hanging or outer frame, but carefully wrapped in protective coverings and a box inside an outer box for added shipping protection. If preferred by the buyer, the painting can be taken off the stretcher and mailed in a tube for less expensive shipping charges but as completely protected.
