Happy Paint Party Friday, everyone! Here is my Girl in a Striped Scarf after Australian artist George James Coates (1869-1930). I had the hardest time with the mouth on this one. It’s at an angle and I kept losing that as I painted it. And it kept gettng bigger and bigger until I finally had to paint white over the mouth and start it again. I love the stripes!

Beautiful rendition, really wonderfully done! HPPF!
Beautiful portrait. Even the great painters in the world, rub out and start again. wonderful. Happy PPF
This is really stunning. Haven’t looked up the artist yet, and I sort of don’t want to. Yours is so striking that I don’t want to see any other version of her.
I like the stripes too. I also love the angles and her eyes. Lovely!

This is really beautiful. And you’re right: the stripes add something special to it.
That hat is awesome! Your mouth here is fabulous- none of your challenge with it shows!
