I painted this portrait in the year I started college. My mother didn't like it. 

Okay, I confess, My hair never really looked that good.

Waiting Again

This will be another day in waiting. Fio has the photo on her email, but can't remember how she got the last one to show up on her blog.

Aha--she did it!  This is a portrait of Husband's father.  Yes, Fio likes light and shadow.

Painting in Waiting

Fiorella, who is skilled with the brush, is a dodo when it comes to pressing the right buttons on electronic devices.  She's spent a couple of hours trying to transfer another painting onto this page and has finally thrown in the towel and contacted genius friend T Carando for help. Stay tuned for more developments. One way or another, Fio will succeed.

AND SHE DID--ON HER OWN, NO LESS!

Fio paid younger son ten dollars to pose.

Sample Painting

Check back to "Artistic Advice" on December 12. This is the sample painting that Fio was trying to upload to illustrate painting what you see, using a pinkish background, and looking for red.
