Vanna White ... back to studio tour



Do you watch "Wheel of Fortune?" Then you must know or are familiar with Vanna White. She is the letter-turner in that popular game show. My hubby used to watch this tv program everyday and then one day, he decided to paint her. This was not a commissioned job at any rate. He wanted to have something to show to customers when they visit his studio ... so the above painting is now one of his collections. He is a fan of Vanna and also has two letters from her.

mari,
thank you for the compliment. I wish i could paint like him, specially skin tone... i think that's one of the hardest.

nini,
happy to hear that you're enjoying them. right now he is painting a series ... of Cleopatra. i should go visit his studio to take photos ...

Congrats to your hubby for capturing the likeness of Vanna. I saw her during the taping of her show "Wheel Of Fortune."

I'm not a big fan of wheel of fortune but this piece is so fantastic Nance, lalo na if you'are dealing with oil na mahirap i-manipulate dahil madaling mag-contaminate ang colors.... Great work Nance, super galing ng hubby mo....! =D

ebb,
you're welcome! i believe that was the goal ... capturing the likeness. i tried to paint a self-portrait once, and for some reason i can't get my lips right. aaarrgghhh!

pepe,
salamat! first love nya ang portraiture. being an artist he admires beauty, i think he enjoyed watching Vanna more than the game itself. want you to know that i am your fan too, u know! :)... the dimensions, prospectives of your work and your colors are so vivid! luv 'em all!

Oi, ngayon ko lang nabasa ang reply mo sa comment ko nun dito Nance.... Thanks, may fan din pala ako ha-ha....! Actually i was drawing out of my imagination lang, dagdag ng dagdag ng kulay at hugis kaya lang accidentally naging okay ang results ha-ha....! Dapat pala tawag ko sa sarili ko accidental artist....! Happy valentines day Nance....! =D

Nance said...

you're so funny pepe, and i like that! :)
accidental artist or artist by chance, those would work, right? lol
you're so humble and ... gifted it shows!

Happy puso din sa 'yo and yours!
