Paola

Oil paint on canvas

Ok so I know its past thirty days but oh well. This has been a successful project thus far and I am very happy with the quality of work I am producing and the rate at which it is being produced. I am continuing on with the project until I hit 30 portraits and after that I'm taking over the world!.... Or just start a new series and treat myself to ice cream :)


Anyway this is my beautiful Columbian friend Paola. Beautiful photographer artist person and proffesional biker ;) ( inside joke)
