Mari and the Dove

Shortly after first posting this painting I wiped off the background. After thinking about it I decided to make up this background. I may do some minor editing on parts of it, but for the most part this is it. Also I needed to retake the photo under better lighting.

  1. The background is working beautifully! The subtly of the bird shapes is fantastic.
    Have a great weekend.

  2. I like both paintings but the repeat of bird shapes in the background hold a lot appeal to me. Her face is lovely. I feel I know her.

  3. Carlene, this portrait is beautiful. And I agree about the background. It's really unique and stylistic. Could be your signature style!
