New WIP

She is not complete - but I am pleased so far.  I came across a German expressionist artist this week - August Macke.  I fell in love with his paintings - especially those of women.  This angel with parasol is based on the woman in this painting.  Hard to photograph the colors exactly - her skirt is much more green with a blue tinge.  I went a bit larger - 16x20" on art board.  Once again I painted her upside down - the keyhole hanger is on the bottom.  Oh well - I was too excited to check before I got going. She has a way to go - hope to finish her early next week.

Linking to Paint Party Friday - Eva and Kristin host this wonderful artist's venue every Friday.  Go and browse and if you create - then join in - no experience necessary!!!

Have a blessed and creative day - thanks for visiting.

    Wonderful interpretation of the parasol girl! I have trouble getting my camera or maybe it is the computer to give the correct colors, too.

    Such a nice interpretation and yet so much your own, too. The composition is great and I love her angelic look. Beautiful progress and I hope to see the finished work.
