Girl with watering can

Another painting from the Nancy Ford Cones series of remarkable photographs dating in the early 1900's. this particular painting measures 8x10 and is painted in oil on a gessoed massonite board. It somewhat impressionistic and is quite a bit smaller then I am use to painting.

Tender moment 16x20 oil on stretched canvas

This painting is depicted from a famous photograph which resides in the historical museum by a Mrs. Cones (a national award winning photographer who resided in Loveland, Ohio in the early 1900's. My inspiration was the pure quality of the lighting and compositional images.
