I am very proud of my latest portrait painting "Winter Beauty".  This portrait was created specifically to be entered into the "Kingston Prize" which is a prestigious competition that tours all over Canada.  I will be crossing my fingers until June 2013 when they announce the finalists. (Wish me luck!)

This luxurious oil painting expresses the spirit of the naturally beautiful Ashley Sirianni.  The first time I met Ashley was during my very first winter exhibition.  Seeing my work for the first time she burst with excitement and awe.  Though I had always experienced positivity towards my work I had never met someone who connected so deeply with it and understood its meaning without even asking.  It was a moment I will never forget.  Her enthusiasm for my beauty art coupled with her incredible natural beauty was something I felt I had to portray in my artwork. 

 

Ashley filled my cold dark winter days with light and warmth and so it was only a matter of time before she became my "Winter Beauty".  The diamond ice crystals falling delicately from her hair allude to the cold of winter.  Yet it is the warmth of the candlelight on her face that exudes her personality and emphasizes her naturally beautiful features.  This piece strives to comfort the viewer with a sense of warm beauty.
