Painting on the Edge (POTE) 2020

Sharon Lalonde, Bernadine Evarista
20" x 16", Acrylic on canvas board , Sold
This portrait was painted as part of the Portrait Artist of the Week. Bernadine Evarista is a Booker Prize winning author and as a delight to paint. I consider the whole series a step out of my comfort zone and “Painting on the edge” because I have not painted portraits, in the past. What an exciting challenge and learning experience to convey the “life” of the sitter.
This piece will not be included in the physical exhibition on Granville Island but meets the quality standards of the FCA and is classified as, "Recognized Artwork."
