Day 147


Mugshot: Karin, 4 x 4 inch oil on panel
© 2012 Kathleen Coy

Well, here it is. The first of the 2012 Hilton Head Gang mugshots. None other than the ringleader, Karin Jurick herself. This was a lot of fun to paint, and I learn so much doing these little mugshots. Can't wait to paint the rest of the gang!!

  4. Thanks, ladies! I remembered what she said at the workshop and used more reds in the skin. I had intended to use bright orange for the background color, but when I put down the turquoise, it looked really good.

  5. Good one! These mug shots are a blast to do. I'm glad y'all are doing them again and I can't wait to see more. I like the turquoise in her hair and skin, too. Well done!!

  6. Great descriptive title, too. Hard to believe that Karen was so intense even though I know she must have focus to accomplish what she has done. This is a fabulous painting.
