More portraits...

Well, this thing has snowballed. First, Rani (subject of my last portrait) said "Do Anarda next!" So I found a photo of her from two years ago, when we went to hear the Master Chorale sing Christmas carols at the Disney Center as our winter treat, and made a portrait of her.

Then my former boss and now co-retired librarian/consultant/friend Barbara said, "Now we are all going to want one," so I said to her (unwisely, in the clear, in Facebook comments) "Send me a photo and I'll give it a shot." Five minutes later I had a selfie in my Messenger queue, so today was Barbara's day.

Several people have taken that offer to Barbara as a wholesale invitation to everyone to send photos, so I now have a few inadvertent so-called "commissions" lined up, and I also have a couple of friends and other interesting faces I really want to do. I may end up with a month of these! We'll see if I get bored and move on.

I'm supposed to be doing 30x30 Direct Watercolor starting June 1, and these won't work for that (no drawing first, only painting straight to paper for that challenge), so maybe I'll set a cut-off of May 31st for my own personal portrait challenge. At one a day, that's seven more...probably plenty!
