Absolutely phenomenal work here from skin tone color and sunlight highlights on her chubby cheeks to the sheen in her baby fine hair -- WOW!!
Tony Armendariz is a well-known watercolorist, teacher, art show judge and mentor to many in the Chicagoland area. Here's what he has to say about his work above...
"My painting "Petra" has been awarded an Honorary Mention/Watercolor in the 13th ModPortrait 2025 International Painting and Drawing Competition in Barcelona and Madrid, Spain. The reception will take place on May 29th in Barcelona. I will be in attendance."
ARTIST STATEMENT:
"My paintings concentrate on portraits and figurative work sometimes combined with architectural elements. With my subjects displayed the classic realist tradition, either as portraits or scenes of life, it is my intent to display their soul/authentic self which at times, may not reveal itself to me immediately.
Many times, the “window” opens and shows itself not only through the eyes but also through the many other features which are used to emote the ranges of expression including the mouth, hands and body language. Sometimes it may also include other props such as clothing and items of domestic life and work. The range of the subjects’ stories can be quiet and simple, and yet some are dramatic and profound."
