D Oldham Neath - a watercolor portrait

This is a 16 by 22 inch watercolor I just completed of D Oldham Neath, a prominent art gallery owner here in Sacramento. She commissioned me to do her portrait, and I will be doing another one of her tomorrow during an interview and video shoot with Rob Stewart, a PBS (Public Broadcasting System) television personality.  The interview will be part of a series about local and national artists. I'll get more details on all this tomorrow after the shoot and will be getting another post out on this blog and my Facebook page soon. I am interested, dear readers, what you think about this first watercolor. Thank you!

Hi Bill. She actually has her hair died pink in the middle and crossing her forehead. The rest of the colors are invented.

Thank you Elizabeth. Love your quirky/fun art.

Howdy, Dana. That's not a nose whisker. That's my new signature :-) You and your family have a great holiday! PS:I'll be teaching another acrylic class in Davis next semester.

I've just discovered your blog and love all of your watercolor portraits! This one is wonderful with the bright colors and beautiful smile.

Thank you for enjoying my portraiture work, Mr. Shah.

Love it and the fuchsia bangs, or fringe. Until I read your comment, I thought that was an artistic decision, and a good one.

Turns out it's real life. Super portrait. I'd like to know the lady based on this.

Happy New Year,

Barbara

My friend in Toronto where it must be cold right now,
Yes, D is quite the art lover, curator, and gallery owner. Also a very savvy business woman. I like that! Stay warm.
