"Mayan Woman," by Marjorie D. Caldwell

An Original Oil Painting on Canvas,9 x 12

Marjorie has done an excellent job of capturing this Mayan woman. Her clothing depicts the Mayan group in which she belongs. Her face shows that although life may have been difficult at times, she has a certain mischievousness about her and a delightful glint in her eyes, revealing a lively spirit.

The ice cream cone is a luxurious joy to her, for she is of a state in life in which such luxuries don't easily come.

Feel free to call Marjorie to discuss your interest in a portrait and how it might be accomplished. She will want to know as much as possible about the portrait subject, so she might "see" the subject through your eyes. The "hows" to accomplish the needed work will be worked out as best as possible for your ease and convenience.

Marjorie prefers working from reference slides, but this portrait was created using photo reference material provided by the client. She then visited extensively with the client to discover how he saw this woman and her life, thereby providing insight into the personality and life of the subject.

Marjorie specializes in portraits – portraits of people, wildlife, pets, and objects. She is adept at portraying onto canvas very realistic renditions of her subject, bringing onto canvas the very personality and character of, for instance, the person whom she's portraying. Her greatest desire is that the image on the canvas will be so very real to the viewer that the viewer will feel the actual presence of the person, or subject, portrayed.

Marjorie is included in the the hardback book, "Northwest Artists," a "coffee-table book of the notable artists of the northwest U.S. If you come to the gallery at Kootenai Fine Art, we recommend you call to set up an appointment first (406-293-9320).

The terms are 1/3 down and the rest payable upon approval of the portrait. Payments can be done "on time."
