Paper Peter Cottontail , Oil, 7x5" SOLD This week at Daily Paintworks is 'The Crumpled Paper Challenge' from Kim Rempel. "Take a piece of paper, crunch it up, put it in a well-lit setting and paint! It's a great exercise to study shapes and relative values." Well, I consider my entry as 'strategically' crumbled paper and that's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;)
Her Gaze, Oil, 10 x 8", available Adrienne is a petite young woman with the most compelling gaze. The shadows are painted very thin and the light values, especially in the face, are impasto. My intent was to show some interesting brush work in this 2.5 hour sketch from life.
I like your sunny coloured view, and the atmosphere which comes from it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sylviane!
DeleteLovely, Mary! I like the dappled light.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jean! I know it almost sounds cliché, but I do my best to capture the light.
DeleteHey Mary,
ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful work - especially on this one - how you brought in the colors, Impressionism, and not to forget the nostalgia. Great work!
Thank you,
Mary Compton Aikens, fellow artist :-)
Thank you, Mary, for your generous comments!
