Alexei and Joy : painting update

Font size


While my painting of the Tsarevich is far from finished, I thought I would post an in progress image. There is still much to do. But I just wrote to a Russia uniform expert to ask if Alexei Nikolaevich's great coat is the correct color before I proceed further. the Tsarevich is depicted with his beloved, spaniel, Joy. The painting is 18 inches, by 36 inches.

As always, painting Romanovs is both a challenge and greatly rewarding

  1. Anne -- somewhat off topic -- I think you're using the same basic blog template that I do. Have you had problems with people not being able to post comments?

    Back on topic -- you've got a tricky situation with Alexei because your canvas is twice as high as it is wide, but the original photo is not as tall.
