Elena’s day – Elena had sent three pictures – this one came out!
I very much like in this picture, that there is also the horizon – and I also wanted to put it in the painting … so I was “forced” to small brushes for capturing the face… and this is where I struggled a lot during the day. I really spent hours trying to give her that smile. I loved painting the sea, the foam is blank paper on most of the parts.
I met a friend for a drink tonight, so I had to finish at one point and posted on instagram/facebook. Now, back home, I went to the atelier to clean the brushes … and I could not resist to try it one more time.
I am a bit more happy now 🙂
Sometimes it obviously just needs a good break!
Thank you, Elena!
(I thought a lot about the time we spent together – it was about these days of the year 10 years ago I moved to Moscow! Wow! Thank you, for your friendship!)
