Ode to a star...

so. I can say now that I didnt make it in to the Archibald exhibition...which means I can share this pic of my painting and my lovely subject.
Such a steep learning curve for me, painting an actual person...and this painting is so very stylized still..but its all about the subject. All of it.
it is huge. Its about 2 metres tall by a metre and a half or so wide. Took me about 6 months, off and on....and it has truly been a labour of love and I cant wait til it comes home..
More than anything?? Its an ode to one of the biggest, twinkliest stars in my sky.
Thank you, Mrs Bartlam.
More soon...
