Going to the Prom
18" x 24"
Oil on wood Panel
This painting just captures a small moment.
I thought the solid black would be an interesting challenge - making enough detail to be convincing while still black with black shoes and a black tie. The lapels have less blue than the photograph indicates.
Overall I am pleased.
The black is ivory black which has a dark blue undertone which helps with color harmony here.
I took some license with the setup and with Rebecca's hair color.
It was fun to work on. Her arms form interesting light bridge between the two.
So fun to have a painting done of Spencer and I- 15 years ago! Your painting composition is a lot better than the original picture. And I'm glad you added the piece of curly hair that I was so proud of. Good job dad!
