Resting at the Portrait Gallery.  Oil on Linen.

During a recent visit to the National Portrait Gallery, I saw two marvelous women, each sitting in one of the deep window seats that back up to the courtyard.  I decided to be bold and ask if I could take their pictures for painting purposes.  To my delight, each agreed.  Here’s the first – a petite little lady perched on the long cushion, resting her feet.  Another palette knife attempt.
