Portrait of Julie

Portrait of Julie, Oil on Masonite by Daniel Liam Gill.

Oil on Hardboard

The sec­ond layer of a Dys­pha­gia paint­ing, this por­trait of Julie no longer exists in this form. I sold the paint­ing before I had the oppor­tu­nity to pho­to­graph the final. It’s a thirty minute sketch but it cap­tures her essence. I do still have the strips of tape.
