Description
In this double portrait I was trying to represent a girl who is having an identity crisis. Basically I was trying to show that every person has two sides to them...I used these amazing stock photos to create this painting-

and [link]
The painting size is 90cm by 120cm I used acrylics and then oils over the top
This is the last photo I took of the painting before I kind of wrecked some of it by using to much white spirit on it but I’m happy it even got this far.
i painted this to brush up on my techniques with oils... I don’t plan to do anything similar in the near future ... I don’t think it really suits me.
Comments would be very much appreciated
I found a better photo - its anoying when you mess something up and you dont have decent photographs....

and i see there are two of her, but i just don't see how the poses are interpreted as "two sides"?
dude, i think it's the light coming in behind the curtains that gets me,...

Although there is pure and warm nature shown in the picture, I feel this kind of isolation. Very impressive.

I've just started repainting it today actually... I'm going to take it down to uni and finish it there - it should pay for some of my living costs

I like how one of the girls is sleeping and the other one is not, shows that sometimes only part of who we are can be asleep at certain times and thats why people think that other people change so often, when really we each have had those parts inside us all along

To keep my comment simple, I really love it. Not only that but I appreciate it. Oils were never my thing either - hard to work with and hard to fix when you mess it - but you've done amazingly.

I appreciate that you don't paint so realistically that you can't tell it's a painting (i.e. brush strokes are visible), but you still pay attention to detail, anatomy, and texture. Great stuff!

thanks! yeah Ive never really wanted to do ultra photorealitic work where they paint the pores in the skin or anything - I just wanted to do something out of my comfort zone (detailed work lol)

You're welcome! That's great! We always need to step out of our comfort zone, otherwise we never evolve and always stay...well..comfortable! lol
