Down But Not Out - Homeless in Louisville

About the Painting:
Size: 22×19″
This is my latest portrait painting. It is taken from a photo I took last summer of this gentleman down at the Waterfront Park here in Louisville, KY. He was nice enough to pose for me and give me a subtle smile. I loved his features and thought it would make a good portrait.

Santa Came!
Posted by Judy Moore Mudd | Filed under People
I haven’t posted a painting this week so I thought I would post a painting in progress to show what I have been doing. This is a commissioned painting from a very small 20+ year old photo. It is a wonderful scene where a child has fallen asleep after getting up to see if Santa came during the night. Apparently it was a little too early and he crashed among the presents. A very sweet memory for his mother.
This painting size is about 16 x 22″ and the photo is about a 3×5″ and the area I painted from in the photo is even smaller than that, so I had to scan the original photo in a very high resolution to blow it up on my computer to see any detail at all.  I took a lot of liberties with the colors, particularly in the tree, since having a very dark green tree would take away from the focal area of the little boy. I wanted the painting to remain “soft” all over, given the subject matter, and stayed away from overly bright and competing colors. Notice the brighter packages are closer to the subject, bringing in your eye, where the lighter packages are more in the perimeter.
The painting is almost finished. I still need to add a little color in the white areas of the background, and then add some middle-darks below in the packages to give the painting some overall cohesiveness. When I get it finished I’ll post it again.

Glorious Rhythm
Posted by Judy Moore Mudd | Filed under People
I don’t have a “mini” painting finished today, so I thought I would show a painting I did a couple of weeks ago. It is a larger painting, sized 16×21 1/2″. It could be matted and framed to a standard sized 22×28″.
This was inspired by a photograph of a War of Independence reenactment taken by Jason Morrison of Atlanta. He gave me several good photos which might make wonderful paintings.
