A "Trapiche painter" Eavie, oil on wood panel 20cm x 15cm

Two commissions

Two commissions, Top one is a 30cm x 40cm, lower one is 20cm x 30cm. Both oil on wood panel.

This is a "Trapiche painter" I've done this painting before.
Sometimes when I'm packing my kit for the market the next morning, I suddenly discover I don't have an image to paint and I have to go through my archives looking for a good subject.
This is Lauren my very first studio model. This is a challenging portrait, normally with a studio model you don't tend to draw too much on the likeness but Lauren has such a beautiful profile and her parents are good friends too - so I felt obliged to get it close.

I call these my "Trapiche painters" they are the little paintings I work on when I'm at the farmers market. I can usually get most of one of these done at the market depending on how many people step up for a chat, sometimes  I bring them the following week or I finish them off when I'm back at the studio.

This is Eavie. I've painted her many times - my favourite model.

I've been quite busy with these little pictures lately, they seem very popular.
