Sue, 4 x 4 inch oil on panel
© 2012 Kathleen Coy
This is my friend Sue, and she's coming home in a few days - she's been away for almost a year on an epic 11 countries in 11 months missions trip. Sue is one of the kindest, happiest people I've ever met, and the world is a much better place because of her.
I invite you to check out Sue's adventures, and especially scroll down through the photos. The smiles say it all. http://suzannehofer.theworldrace.org/
This may be one of my favorite paintings to date, and it's funny that it's so small, but I really enjoy painting faces on these little 4x4"s.
She is beautiful inside and out and your painting reflects your feelings. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girl. And beautiful portrait. Thanks for sharing her story/website with us. Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Kat, and so is her story. You've done a beautiful job of capturing her soul.

ReplyDeleteA small masterpiece Kat. Kudos.
ReplyDeleteTerri, thank you! It still amazes me what can be done on such a small panel.
ReplyDeleteKarin, thank you so much, that means a great deal coming from you. I can't thank you enough for everything I learned in your workshop, and how much I continue to learn each time I pick up a brush.
