Portraits & Figures (AVAILABLE)

Carol Hadfield Portraits and Figure Paintings. I've been captivated by portraits since I was a teenager - for some reason, I was granted a knack for remembering and transcribing faces. I get to use this knack every time a portrait model steps up! The balance between art and the likeness to the model is the constant challenge of this approach. If a face appeals to me, I can get lost in the art of trying to recreate it on canvas. Very often, I'm forced to work from photographs, but what I truly yearn for is live models - a living, breathing recreation just can't be topped.

Enjoy the pride and joy of my Portraits and Figures gallery - and thank you to all the past and future models!

Painting out in the open again

For the past couple of weeks we have been painting at Cheval Voyeur in Phillipi, a beautiful farm owned by Colleen and John Beake who have welcomed us painters with open arms. Thank you Colleen and John for sharing this beautiful environment with us.
