Bright Rory

 

Bright Rory

This is my most recent painting.  I painted it as a gift to my sister for her birthday a while back.  This painting is the biggest of all the Rory paintings I’ve done so far.  As you can see it is in my usual off the wall color palette that I use for all my portraits.  When, I painted this one, I wanted it to look like she was glowing.  Hence the super bright colors.  My sister said that the original picture of Rory reminds her of Falcor from the Neverending Story movie.  And, I agree.  If you haven’t seen that movie, you should check it out.  It’s old, but a classic.  However, the painting doesn’t look like Falcor, since it’s not in natural colors.  I like the intensity of Rory’s eyes in the painting.  She always has so much to express with her cute facial expressions.
