"Yurok Girl" by Michelle Murphy-Ferguson 10" x 8" 25cm x 20cm oil on canvas board
Every Thursday artists gather in my studio
to paint a live model for three hours.
This young woman from the Yurok Tribe
brought with her some native adornments
and my artist friends seated her in
this pose. I am quite fond of all Western
painters from past to present day and so
was thrilled to be able to paint this beautiful
proud young woman with such great heritage.

ReplyDeleteYou really captured a great sense of mood in this one Michelle! Her face has a warmth that is reflected it the tender loose brushwork!
