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....

If the medium doesn't suit you, the style does. It's beautifully painted, and has a very soft and relfective mood.
