Sara’s Summer Fades....



So, I worked on this quite a bit last week, but I haven’t really looked at since Friday. I must say, that break was good - I like it a lot more than when I last worked on it! I need to darken the values of the blouse and do more work on the skirt and put in some trees in the upper right. But I like the faces and skin tones — I’m going more for mood than resemblance. FYI everyone knows when you look at images in the blog, you can enlarge them onscreen with two fingers — at least I can. It’s a helpful feature imo...

    Oh, now this is exquisite! You've absolutely captured a mood. I love the painterly choices you made. The complementary colors and the softened values that bring the focus exactly where it should be. This feels exactly like a lazy summer day and the relationship is apparent. There's a casual familiarity and a love that reminds me of Mary Cassatt's mother/child paintings. Just beautiful.

    Yes, you do have the spirit of both beings at a moment of time. Very nice.
