Imminent

"Eminent"
10" x 8"
Oil on canvas panel






















Imminent, in deed!  Rosa showed up for her pregnancy-portrait sitting with little more than a shawl, so I swaddled her vessel, as she called it, and pulled the wings of the remaining fabric behind her.  This pose was one of my favorites, but she opted for a more colorful one.

Since Rosa's sitting I've wanted to paint this pose.  I tried a simple study to see how it might look, and I'm not disappointed.  I'll post a couple more Rosa paintings over the next few days, but one was already posted, so I put her in the first row on the front page of My Gallery.  Check out Rosa in my silk kimono.  

Thank you for visiting today.
