Finishing her eyes. Now for the leaves falling across her face. -- #portraiture #painting #portrait #oiloncanvas #art #artwip #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #artwork #beauty #makeup #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionart #make_portraits #portraits_ig #artist #face #pintora #pintura #alaprima #mua #realism #valencia #paint #blogger #photography #photo (en Port of Valencia)

Painting her crown of flowers and butterflies this morning. The pink is an underpainting - most will disappear as I work, but you'll see glimpses between colours and objects... Her eyelashes will arrive once this layer is dry, to keep the intense colour around her eyes bright. There'll be leaves falling over her face. -- #portraiture #painting #portrait #oiloncanvas #art #artwip #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #artwork #beauty #makeup #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionart #make_portraits #portraits_ig #artist #face #arte #pintura #alaprima #dibujo #pintora #valencia #fineart #flowercrown #flowers #garland #headdress #streetart #popart #contemporaryart (en Port of Valencia)

For you, a second new painting finished this week. This began as something about the artist Tamara de Lempicka, then mixed with my readings of seventeenth century fairy tales. I'll write about the series for you shortly :) -- #portraiture #painting #portrait #oiloncanvas #art #artwip #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #artwork #beauty #makeup #fashion #fashionillustration #illustration #kunst #arte #pintura #pintora #fineart #figurativeart #face #preraphaelite #flowercrown #bird #birdcrown #headdress #artdeco #decor #deco #fairytale #valencia

Bright morning sun on yesterday's painting. Disconcerting to be painting myself. 'She'll' have orange lilies and a massive radio valve on her shoulder. Back to painting huge birds on the Apple Lady today.

Sitting in front of a mirror, mixing the colours in my own face. Starting my first self-portrait since I was 15. Throwing up all sorts of strange stuff. The 'me' who paints isn't impressed by her new subject! -- #portraiture #painting #portrait #oiloncanvas #art #artwip #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #artwork #beauty #makeup #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionart #make_portraits #portraits_ig #artist #face #selfie #selfimage (en Port of Valencia)

Sophisticated demo for you of how she'll look with huge apples on her head. Except that apples will be red. And there'll be huge blue tits too. The canvas is large - almost 120m high - see my palette for scale x -- #portraiture #painting #portrait #oiloncanvas #art #artwip #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #artwork #beauty #makeup #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionart #make_portraits #portraits_ig #artist #face #apple #popart #photography #alaprima #mua #realism #valencia (en Port of Valencia)

Self-portrait at @f_chirivellasoriano gallery on Friday before meeting with 14 amazing women to visit the Claudio Perna opening at @espaivisorgallery - should have taken far more photos of the evening but having too much fun!
