My Interpretation of a Primitive Portrait by Belknap


I have been wanting to do this for some time...
My rendition of a Child's Primitive Portrait, this one done by 
Zedekiah Belknap(1781-1858) ~ 'Girl in White with Cat'.
This is my first try at portraits and hope to be doing others.
I have been getting the itch to do more painting ... so here it is,
8" x 10" canvas board using acrylics and pencil.
Not sure about framing...maybe a faux graining technique...maybe not!


Now I have to get back to my PS Santa Ornament with 2 down ... am on my 3rd with 5 more to go.  
For me it is a slow process, but I have also been under the weather with a touch of bronchitis.  Doing much better but still have the awful nagging dry tickle of a cough.  
Anyways, I do get bored doing the same thing for too long, so thought I'd take the time to switch gears and paint ... I did! Now back to my counted X-stitch as I have a schedule that must be met by Christmas.

Thanks for visiting ... Have a great weekend and 4th of JULY too.

    You do awesome work. Are you going to put your paintings in a gallery to sell. I bet they would sell good. Have a great 4th :)

    Thanks so much Nancy ... I appreciate your inspiring comment. Well...I am thinking about selling them, but for now I want to enjoy as I am so pleased showing her off and sitting in my pewter cabinet. Still have to decide about a frame. Suppose I could sell not framed and let that be the new keeper's choice.
    Love your PET oriented Blogs. We too LUV animals. For now Kody is a BIG handful ... I would love to have more.
    Thanks for visiting with 4th of July Blessings for ALL,
    Barb
