![]() "Donna" Ten some years ago, I was afraid to do any portrait paintings, and I somehow gained some confidence and tried with photos of my children. This is one of my very early attempts at portrait painting. It's a 14"x17"(originally 15x22). I was, and still am satisfied with the outcome of the hat and her hair, but her skin tone is a little muddy and her ear isn't quit right. Expressions on face/body,lights and the mood are my inspiration. Kyong Burke |
![]() "Hats - Art Appreciation"
The Hats project gave me an excuse to paint this image based on a photo I
took of a woman viewing a painting someone had done of her that was
displayed at the art center where I lead a figure/portrait group (see blog). |

![]() "Red Hat Queen Mother" This queen Mum was at a resort luncheon with her red hatters' group.. I could not resist painting her fabulous head gear! Virginia Haines |
"Ready to Go" I painted it on Kilimanjaro Baby Block from a photo I took at a "cute" shop in Freestone, CA, next door to an amazing bakery. Loved the bread more than I did that shop, except that the hat display caught my eye. Louise Franco |

![]() "Self Portrait With Straw Hat" 20" x 14" After teaching a watercolor portrait class, I gave the class an assignment to paint their self portraits.
Then I felt guilty, because I had never painted my own self portrait. So here it is, painted two weeks ago
from a photograph my sister took about 8 years ago. This is pure transparent watercolor. |
"Ladies at Four" 1/2 sheet Arches cold-pressed 140lb covered with Gesso This is my entry into the March theme project – hats. It is entitled “Ladies at Four” and depicts a time long past when ladies wore hats in the afternoon. Barbara Sailor |

"Dos Sombreros"
I went to MX knowing I wouldn't get any painting done down there, but I was open to new ideas. The first day, I looked out the balcony and saw the shadow of a palm tree on the sand, and later, my wife went down and sat in its shade. Bingo! I had it, and I did the painting when I got back. |
![]() "untitled" This approximately 8 x 10 watercolor, done on Arches cold press paper using mostly W & N paint, was inspired by one of my favorite photos taken many years ago. My husband and I were on a horseback trip in the Canadian Rockies. My husband is in the middle and the two other cowboys were our guides. The three of them in their hats were as handsome and jaunty as they could be! It was a wonderful trip and the photo was a great reminder of the good times we had. Now this small watercolor painting will also bring back the many good memories. Judy Silver |
![]() "Who Knows..." 8" x 10" The pulp character The Shadow relied on anonymity and obscurity, his costume was his hat and scarf, meant to hide his features from the world. |
