A Painting A Day

I really liked this profile photo I found of Newman, and I wanted to try to show the sensuality of the kiss, so I put the actress in the painting. I don't know if that helps or detracts from it.

I really rushed this one, and finished quickly. Going to Chicago in the morning, so have to pack. Hopefully I will find some time to paint. I'm bringing some water soluble paints with me, and am hoping that I can try them out on the trip.

Most of the photos I find online of Paul Newman are black and white, so I thought it would be fun to do a black and white with his blue eyes. It kind of makes them stand out even more.

I have decided to do as many Newman paintings as I can in December and donate them to the Serious Fun Children's Network that he started. I am hoping they may be able to auction them off and raise a little money. It will be my good deed this Christmas. Lord knows I have enough to atone for!
