Woman with a Veil

This post may take a little explaining.

Yes it is a daily painting, or rather a painting I did in one day. This is a street painting 6' x 4' in size. It is a temporary art form that I have been involved with over the last 10 years (see my website www.lorellemiller.com under streetpainting).

This image is a reproduction of Alexandar Roslin's piece named"Woman with a Veil" Sweden, 1768.

Every time I produce one of these wonderful masterworks I learn a great deal and the practice I get with my drawing skills as well as in painting is tremendous. My interest in portraiture has usually been with the feminine image. I loved the coquettish look of this young woman as she poised for her husband.
