Tara sat for this and then it was painted mostly from a photograph. It was one of the first portraits I ever painted so it started out as just an experiment. The look on her face is serious but she really is a lot more jovial and accessible than this. She was a good sport about posing for me. It is not an easy thing to do as I am a slow painter. Really S.L.O.W. We live in different countries now but I hope some day I can do a better portrait of her. And this time I'll hone in on her wonderful personality and have her in more stylish clothing.
