Try not to judge the poor depiction of her hands!Elena is the creator of "Life after Lisa" an online drama.
This is pretty old and done in the early hours in the morning after a long night in the studio. It was the last of about 12 portraits I had done through the course of the night. I think it shows.
This painting was done very quickly and I left most of the surface unfinished. I thought that it really showed how objects emerge from absence to presence. The Pellegrino bottle is captured mid-birth while the teacup and lightbulb are pretty well realized.
