Contemplative Women
Welcome to my ongoing series of "Women in a Contemplative Mood". My goal is to capture the beauty of women of all ages while reflecting. I hope you find them inspiring as I do when I choose one to paint. Prints are available. I also do portraits on commission from photos. Prices begin @ $300.

"Erika" was photographed by Karsten Thormaehlen for his book on Centenarians. He gave me permission to paint her. She was 102 when my reference photo was taken. She died in 2013. I was struck by the intelligence and wisdom shining from her eyes.
