I am much more relaxed now painting full figures - I have a lot to learn, but I have embraced Matisse's exaggerations. I am not a realistic painter but I know I have to know how it all connects to even exaggerate. I like her though - and will put her in my Etsy shop tomorrow. Just have to add some archival finish. I am calling the painting "the work of his hands" from Psalm 19, since everything in the universe is the work of God's hands.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday (.here). Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting this awesome venue for artists around the world. Have a blessed and art filled day.
Hi Gina. Looks pretty good on the canvas. I really like this lady with her blue dress and awesome hat. Nice job.:) Have a great day and Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I rarely do series so this is a change for me. I hope to learn how to improve my work by doing some similar paintings.
DeleteHi Gina, This course looks like great fun and your painting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Eva - I did finally get better photos and updated the entry. I was so glad to see that you were able to participate this week.
DeleteI have been having problems taking photos of my art, and achieving the colours that I see without the camera, so I know how your feeling. The sky is very pleasing with texture and different colours, so even though you seem disappointed, it still is effective. Learning is what this challenge is all about, so you are on track!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee - I was able to get better photos so I updated the entry.
DeleteReally fantastic, you are making great work these days! Valerie
ReplyDeleteLoving your wonderful painting and its great to see it finished. Happy PPF, Annette x

You did a great job on her!!!!! I love those narrow canvas...they can squeeze into a space that needs brightened but too small for a full sized painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright colours you have chosen, and it looks an interesting course to follow. I'm off to see a Matisse exhibition today, so I shall think of your painting as we wander around the gallery.
ReplyDeleteI love this woman! gorgeous painting!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I like her curves ...
ReplyDeleteVery lovely, the sky is such a great color, all the colors looks so good and I love how she has one hand on her hat, in case a breeze were to blow it away.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You have really got the knack for this Matisse type of painting. Looks really good and I love the theme/title you gave it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful composition and I love the way you painted her full figure.Your work is very lovely!
