Title: Elsa's portrait and sunsets
Post by: Gillian Harvey on January 27, 2010, 13:43:17 PM
Remember the portrait I painted of Elsa? - it was one of the paintings I completed in my pastel drawing course before she died. Well several of the paintings including the one of Elsa have been sitting in my cupboard all that time, waiting for me to get them mounted, framed and up on the wall! I took the picture in for mounting last week.

When Elsa died at 20 yrs old in 2007, shortly after, there was a fiery red sunset which I always felt was her 'rainbow' - I think I posted at the time saying Elsa was creating fire in the sky! Anyway, I went to pick up the mounted picture yesterday late afternoon - on the drive back there was, once again, the most amazing, fiery red sky - definitely my Elsa at work again - probably saying about time LOL!

I'm really pleased with the way its been mounted, all I need now is the right frame....

That's a wonderful portrait -  you have the eyes doen in such a way it's almost as though she's strating right into your soul.  Fabulous - when it's in  a nice frame, it's going to be a stunning work of art to hang.
