Odd Couple

A small alla prima double portrait. 11x14 oil on canvas. Done from a  photo I had taken a while ago taken in a restaurant.

    Thank you, Lorraine. This was really an intriguing double portaraint to paint. I have been thinking abaoutit ever since I took the photo. There is so much to wonder about who they are, what they share and what brings them together. I like that element of wondering.
