Nicholls Family

 Acrylic and ink on wood, 2x4'

2012

These are my amazing relatives-and yes, that's how they spell "Nicholls." I believe the picture I used as a reference was taken sometime in the 1930s.

I did this painting on a piece of stained plywood and painted with India ink, acrylic, and coffee. The coffee was an experiment; it mainly lightened the wood just a little. I may try tea next...

This a small look at my almost-finished painting.

My photo reference was an old family photo, like most of my others. As you can see from this bit, this painting is different, more sketchy, and the figures are suggested rather than fully defined. I'm excited to show you the whole piece! I should be posting it soon...
