This is scrumptious! Really like the brushwork and your varied edges
I stopped by to comment on "Waiting in the Rain" and I see this fantastic painting. You are amazing.
Beautiful! Sounds like he gave an inspiring demo, too.
Cette femme aux longs gants a quelque chose de mystérieux, que vous seule parvenez à traduire dans vos peintures. Je retrouve ce sentiment dans beaucoup de vos oeuvres, ce qui les rend attachantes...
Je suis certaine que vous avez pris copieusement du bonheur à participer à ce cours...
Moi qui ne suis qu'une autodidacte je serais heureuse d'apprendre autrement que par mes erreurs...
Gros bisous
A splendid work !
Those are important lessons, and this is a powerful painting that you did!
Hi Celeste,
this oil reads very well, you did a great job. A really elegant composition!
wow. I like this so much.
She is familiar maybe I saw her before in another painting

This woman with long gloves has something mysterious, you only manage to bring in your paintings. I find this feeling in many of your works, what makes them endearing ...
I'm sure you took copious happiness to participate in this course ...
I who am a self taught I would be happy to learn other than by my mistakes ...
big kiss

(thank you Martine!)
Thanks Jan, Hallie, Kvan, martine, Hoghart, Casey, Mariano and Dave.... :)
Dave, she is from a photo reference and I haven't painted her specifically before, if that is what you meant.
I very much appreciate the comments!
I love the subtle earthy value shifts and wonderful form. Lovely grays, very harmonious, great job!
Hey, Celeste, I'm always lurking, but have to leave a comment today. I was reading Schmid (Alla Prima) last night. He talked about linking the lights in his chapter on values. The reverse of linking darks, but same difference. As I read, I was sitting in my studio looking at paintings I've done and noticed that the strongest images are composed of limited values with a few big shapes created by lots of linking. Your post drives it all home. Good one.
Wow! I think Craig's paintings are so beautiful. Looks as if you were completely the top observer. Your painting is great.
I thought this lady looked familiar too, Celeste. LOL Anyway, I don't know how I missed this post as I read blogs both Saturday and Sunday. Sigh...
She is beautiful and I learned something from you and from one of your commenters on this piece.
