Robert Henri said, "paint the flying spirit of the bird rather than its feathers."

Prior to painting these young ladies, I had met two of them some years ago only for a brief moment; the third not at all. However, by the end of the painting, I  felt as if I knew them.  It was as if I could feel their personalities through my brush.

Speaking of the feathers on a bird, I have discovered that I really enjoy painting fabric patterns.
