Portrait of Cecilia

Cecilia is a lovely Mayan woman who walks the Isla Mujures beach in Mexico carrying items for sale. Sometimes her husband joins her when he is not tending their baby boy. I love her gracious smile and colorful image which inspired me to paint her portrait. I do not consider myself a portrait painter, but every once in a while an image of a person draws my attention. Cecilia is definitely one!



I have not decided if I like this version better or not?
