MARY-BLUE – Oil on Canvas

This is the second large masterpiece in my portraiture series and is the culmination of a long and detailed study, focused intently upon the captivating youth and ethereal beauty of my cherished cousin, Caroline. In the process of immortalizing her essence upon canvas, I was struck with awe by the radiance and purity that emanated from her every feature, a sight that shall remain etched upon my artistic oeuvre and my very soul.

Caroline’s physical attributes are simply breathtaking, with her unblemished complexion and clear, purposeful gaze leaving a lasting impression upon all who behold her. Yet, the true depth of her magnificence extends far beyond the physical plane, as evidenced by the palpable sense of confidence, love, generosity, purity, and fairness that radiate from her very being.

Indeed, it is the divine quality of Caroline’s expression that truly sets her apart from all others, a rare and ineffable beauty that inspired me to delve deep into the essence of her spirit, capturing her very soul upon my canvas. This painting represents a watershed moment in my artistic journey, signifying a profound shift towards a more introspective and meaningful approach to portraiture, one that seeks to capture the heart and soul of each and every subject with warmth, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the true beauty that lies within.
