Well, I didn’t cut off my ear, but I can’t hear out of my right ear b/c of an ear infection— same difference!
This girlie is done, I think, altho I wonder if the colors are strong enough. Sometimes I put a painting behind glass and the colors seem to fade. FYI she’s not behind glass yet…
This is a pre-painting of my next project. I’m trying to work out colors, shapes, values before I do the real thing. I cut down the volume of her dress….Her dress will be a lighter blue and all her party hat will show. I like the top background but the rest I’m not sure of. So much for working out all the details…
These are sketches I worked on while waiting for paint to dry.i like the color saturation on the top one, although i was really trying to think about composition…the second one I was trying to capture my lovely dogwood tree in bloom, although i really over worked it. The interior part of the sketch is nice tho…
Sorry about the ear infection--those are awful! But your paintings are great. I like the light in all of these. The first one is so clear and bright and the second one has the light waning as she comes home from a party. The shadow on the daffodil makes it--as does the composition. And the way the spring sun hits the drape and the edges of the sofa and the windows just makes it. I think you stopped before it got overworked.
ReplyDeleteMy fav is the last one. It's just a jewel of a painting in it's subtle colors and composition highlighting the view out the window. The girl sitting in the wood is delightful and fairy tale like in its bright colors and charming position. And the still life is so odd in its size, but the composition works with that shadow and coffee cup in the very dark and very light values at the bottom.
