“Girl with Large Starfish” 16×20 Oil Painting by Winifred<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is my 4th attempt to create this painting as one I’m satisfied with. Really, three full repaintings. Hopefully this will be the last version. It was inspired on a tour of a major museum in Mexico. While walking the corridors, I stopped in my tracks when I saw a little Asian girl kneeling in the sand observing a small starfish. I excitedly thought “I have that photo”- not actually “that photo” – but a photo I took about 15 years ago of a different little girl squatting in the sand, observing a LARGE starfish. It was in fact so very large that I made it substantially smaller to create balance in the painting. This painting has gone through quite a few iterations. I hope it comes to rest in this version – though I do see a little something I might change!! Below – a different little girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Mexican Girl 8×10 Oil Painting by Winifred Whitfield<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, we’ve gone from the museum in Mexico to the little Mexican girl who lives in Washington State. This was one of my first portrait oil paintings, painted about 4 years ago. I love the layers of color and texture and her pretty dark curls. She actually wore a red dress – hence my first layer of color. I remember how terrified she was when ask to stand apart from her parents for the photo. She is looking at them for reassurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you enjoy the children – I don’t paint children nearly as often as I paint adults. Have a great weekend! Winifred<\/p>\n\n\n\n
