$500 © Pam Van Londen 2007 The Story Teller (Beth Johnson) acrylic on gallery edged canvas on 24 x 18 x 1.5 canvas
My new painting friend, Beth Johnson, creates many portraits in oils. The portraits often use a split canvas with current and past perceptions on either side. I decided to try her composition idea while painting a portrait of her.
The right hand side of the canvas was painted with her as the live model and the left side was painted from a photo reference.
The painting is hanging in the OSU Memorial Union concourse until the end of February.
