Today's model "G" was pretty and had a "serious" look about her. My aim was to concentrate on big shapes! Life painting sessions are over now for awhile, but I will try to find a way to paint models each week, either at
Hipbone or from reference.

Thanks Martine!
She is beautiful indeed, Celeste, but I suspect your painting accentuates the reality. I was just sitting here this a.m. thinking about how you are able to paint so much and am left in awe. I just struggle and struggle to finish even one piece much of the time. I get paralyzed by fear and that stops me in my tracks.
I like this portrait! I think because you emphasized the major shapes she looks especially strong and heroic

Thnaks for telling me about the classes at the art school I am signing up!

Skimming through the blogs I follow last night after lugging the luggage in from the car, your portrait was the outstanding picture on my site. I would have written how lovely it is--a strong image strongly painted--but I was beat from coming through customs. Why is it always such a long trek from plane to the port authority?
From green skies to these--always interesting posts.
this looks different! she looks like a wonder woman of sorts, somewhat graphic novel-like. I approve
thanks Martine, Sherry, Sheryl, LW, Hallie and Dave! You are great to stop by and leave a comment for me...!
Sherry--This I have learned...if you paint and paint and paint and paint ....you will not be so worried about mistakes. Fact! :)
