This painting of Selena is the second time I've painted a family member of my nephew and niece-in-law, Robbie and Sara Jones. It was a pleasure to paint her, even though it was based on a photograph. The problem with the photograph was that it distorted her face slightly, as if her picture was stuck around a ball. So I amended the image so that it felt right.
I thought I would add the other portrait, painted of her older brother, Lorenzo, just to keep the family together.
