Painting of Lisa

I’m moving pretty soon and  since I have to pack and work..not much time left to paint but I didn’t want to stop painting.  When I paint , nothing else exist..  no thinking, no over-thinking, no problems.. my mind  is free. I needed to find a simple portrait (head / shoulder) with not much details to work on.

I thought why not paint someone who is on my Facebook account.
I was online when Lisa upload a new profile picture. I thought it was an amazing picture.
She was not wearing her glasses and  she was beautiful.
I decided to paint that picture.

She didn’t know I was going to paint her.. I was asking people on Facebook and Twitter how should I surprise the person : Tag or email?  They all liked the idea of tagging the person.. which I did.

Here’s the painting :)

Hope you like it:)

Cheers!
