Elena Running oil on canvas, 16x20 7th Session |
The background in a painting can play an important part in the completion of a portrait by setting the mood and complimenting the main character. One of the opportunities I like to take advantage of when possible, is to make the background a meaningful part of the visual story. The public garden in which Elena is running through marks a significant time in her life.
Oh wow! This is just coming along so well, and is so striking!!! I LOVE it!!! Her dress really stands out against the green grass.
