This week I made a portrait of my husband Tim. Since I made a self-portrait a couple weeks ago, I decided to make a trio of portraits that include our son too. Below are images of the process of day 1 and day 2. I’m really enjoying painting these at this scale. It was also fun to recreate one of my paintings in the background of this one.
Also this week I came across this photo of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera watching a solar eclipse with friends in 1932.
And I learned about about “Andrea Y. Motley Crabtree—the first woman to pass the rigorous U.S. Army test for deep sea diving, a highly specialized aspect of military service,” when I saw this portrait of her at the Met museum.
