Lost in Thought

Lost in Thought, Oil on Panel, 12x9"  SOLD

Heather was our model at Open Figure Studio. I was quite pleased with the outcome from the dramatic backlighting. I was working on a fairly dark toned panel. This piece just flowed without much pressure. I am not sure who was lost in thought more, myself or the model?

    Great job!!! Your values are right on-- Something about that backlighting really pumps up the drama factor here, you did a beautiful job on the facial hilights and the sparkly jewelry... Lovely. and I love the bits of the paper showing through too. (:

    Thank you, Diane! I am really terrible with my marketing...I need to get a hold of it. Right now I have this piece up for auction on Daily Paintworks at a quarter of my asking price above. I will be posting several more at bargain basement prices just to get some recognition and to make room for more pieces.

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! ;)
