Young Girl Silhouette with hand rubbed finish
Painted in that 18th and 19th Century Style
I love her pretty red dress. (Just shy of 5 inches)
I love to paint little pictures. The only downside to painting smalls is that it really takes a good amount of time... I make a mess and spill things and typically spend as much time on something small as I do a larger piece. Why do I do it then?? Well, it is because there are many collectors of artwork that hesitate to spend a lot of money on someone they do not know. I wish to expand my market; therefore, I am willing to do a few smaller pieces to get the customer. It's all fun!
This little piece was really a newer frame that I picked up somewhere and isn't all that old. I like it sitting on a bookshelf, but I also think it would be sweet to hang. It just blends in nicely with my furnishings.
There's a slight glare on this picture, but you get the idea!

| The overall dimensions are 3 1/2 x 4 1/2" |
To give you a good idea of the scale of this picture, it easily fits into the palm of my hand!

| In case it's not clear, she is holding a bird! |

The color in the above example is not entirely accurate, the original is more like an almond color that is gently toasted!
I have an Etsy page. I have been very lazy about posting to it. I have only one picture on it. Today, I decided to post another~WOW. This little portrait. If you are interested in her, I have made it affordable. Remember, she is all hand painted and finished, ready to go, immediately! Think birthday or belated mother's day or even father's day.
*Today, I am doing something a little different! If you like my page on FB and 'share' this link to your Facebook, I am going to have a giveaway. The silhouette print below is the prize! (NOT the small round one). The size of the square giveaway print is square 7"x9". This is a $50 value. One person will be selected at the end of the week!
**The winner was Katie G. Yay, Katie! May 16, 2014
Also don't forget to check out my etsy page!! I have the round one up right now!
