I'm not overly happy with the mouths on the girls, but after much mucking around trying to get them 'just so', I decided to leave them as is, otherwise I would have ruined the whole painting. To make my background, I referred to an article from Cloth Paper Scissors written by Kelly Rae on how she does her backgrounds and liked the effects. However saying that, it is a bit like a Misty Mawn type background too... both sensational artists by the way. I love the grungy/textured look of their backgrounds, but I'd like to think that I have added my own little 'stamp' on this background.
This painting is for my sister, as it is her birthday in a few days time. It's not a self portrait by any means, but I have tried to make the girls look a little bit like us with the hair and eye colouring being the same.
The wording on the sister on the right says " Sisters make teh best of friends".
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
Hi Nat, I think your sister will love this! Its my sisters birthday too soon and I have been tossing around ideas for a canvas for her (very daunting task though).
