She is still on my easel. During this morning's art period, I was ready to start painting her face. I don't know why but I have been avoiding the face. She is still a work in progress but it does help to console me if I can bring her in picture form with me for the day to this desk in town. Isn't is odd that one can see the little things that need changing when looking at the screen.
I wish I were at home with her and still painting.

She's going to be so great! I love watching you bring people and paintings alive. She has such a quirky face...you can't stop looking at her and her expression. Not sure if she's pondering something or is puzzled, maybe a bit surprised at what she's reaching down for or feeding?
ReplyDeleteShe's just on the verge of a smile but not quite! I like that!
ReplyDeleteI love the background behind her!
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Sharon. She is coming along so well! Been waiting to see how you were doing with her.
ReplyDeleteI often look at my paintings on my one of my computer screens after I'm done for the day. I see things I don't notice while I'm up close and personal so to speak with the painting. And yes, I do take breaks often and step back 5 or 6 feet and look. But there is just something about having it on that reduced screen that magnifies things!
Her face looks awesome! Love your art!
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. I thought that was a paint pallette around her head. Hugs and blessings.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteI love the Klimt feeling of the painting. He is one of my favorite painters. She is really coming to life, there is a very happy feeling coming from her!

You are right. I think I may start doing "dummy posts" of my artwork mid way through. That way I'll be able to see exactly what needs to be changed. Your girl has a very determined look about her and I love the way you give your girls a raggety edge to their clothing. Background is wonderful on this one so far.
ReplyDeleteI agree sometimes taking a picture of the painting and sitting back and looking at it helps me too, to see what i need to tweek:O) Cannot wait to see the finsihed painting:O)
ReplyDeletei love to see your works sharon, in progress and complete. The colorful background band near her head is beautiful, look forward to seeing the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteHer face has a story, not yet ready to tell, she is thinking. I love your art, you put so much thought into every inch. Hugs, Mary
