I haven't been posting my paintings as regularly as I should - this is another of the figuratives I did about a month ago.  A couple of weeks ago the Gallery that represents me asked if I'd do a study of a figurative for a possible commission.  We'll see how it goes.

Chemise - Palette Knife Oil Painting

"Chemise"

8 x 8 x 3/4 inches, Oil on Canvas

Some paintings are just fun! This one was fun to paint. That's not right. Most of the time I'm having fun painting; I'm in a better place when I'm mushing paint about and getting it on my hands, my face, clothes.

I must say, though - as I was just about finished and really happy with the way it had turne out noticed that her hand was in the wrong place!!! I had to paint it out and re-design with her hand on her knee - I think it looks a lot better this way!

This painting is just a tad bigger at 8 inches square.

I get too excited after finishing a painting that I want to take a photo of it right away. Dark areas shine so much. I should be re-reading R. Gariott's blog, who posts helpful photo tips on how to keep the shine out of the photos or photo-shopping it out.

I used the same limited palette colors which I used on the last two figuratives - don't want to waste the paints I've already squeezed onto my palette...I used Prussian Blue, Burnt Sienna, Magenta, Cad Yellow Light and White.

I've shared some songs in the last few posts - today I wanted to share some interesting and fun blogs - if you get a chance to visit let them know you've come to their blogs through mine - it's always fun to see where our readers come from.
