Sometimes, you just have to know when to step away. This was based on a small, old B&W reference photo. After some direct watercolor sketching, it was time for fine-tuning and finessing. But I find I like the ghostly feel of this, especially for a vintage scene like this. It feels like a memory. So I'm walking away.

Walk proudly away. Love this.
ReplyDeleteAnother masterpiece Elaine. It has such immediacy like you just dashed it off and yet you hit every note exactly right.
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful. And seeing you painting it all in one sessions was wonderful too. It has such a feeling of nostalgia or a memory, a family portrait outside on a cool, brisk day. The background working perfectly into the composition, adding a sense of place without disrupting the family unit.
