| "Miki Too" Acrylic on canvas Xan Blackburn
Miki Too's portrait was done as part of one of my
occasional *Portrait Marathons. I wanted to capture a Dutch
Master's feel here, of the light coming in the unseen window, and
reflecting back warmly on the shaded side of her face. I love
this one!
*That's when I announce a first-come, first-served
sign up, and paint small portraits of each pet as quickly as I can (not
always that quickly!), until the alloted number has been reached or I
run out of canvasses or time. There is always a donation made out
of the proceeds for these marathons to a pet welfare organization I
choose ahead of time.
