Daddy's Girl

oil on canvas paper, 12" x 12"

This is my third portrait of Amy Winehouse, who never ceases to fascinate me.  With this portrait, I wanted to capture her edgier side.  She came off much more innocent in my first try, then the second I left unfinished, as I wasn't happy with it.  I like this one, though.  I feel I got what I was after with it.  There was often an undercurrent of anger in her, but that was also part of her appeal, her fire.  A highly emotional singer, she didn't hold back.
