Description
I'm leaving the story out, yet again.Have patience with me - this is the first painting of this kind I've ever made. A first time thing, in more than one way :]
I really -had- to use references for the background, and I hope it came out okay. It was a true challenge

sargent's tennebrism and motion mixed with hopper's use of color and light ... and a little flair of this one of Joan of Arc they've got in the Met (artist's name escapes me, but it's quite famous) comes across in the calves and arms. and i mean that in a very, very good way. it sucks how no one really paints anymore ... wonderful to see that there's at least someone keeping it alive.
whoa.

for a first time thing, Id prolly argue that youd have to have had some kind of practice in the past, or in a previous life, cause for a first time thing, that is excellent!
even for an experienced thing Id still say thats excellent

This is stunning! You said this was a painting... but with what medium? Oils? pastels? Do tell. Motion and light are captured flawlessly. Your talent amazes me.

I agree with the others...the movement is spectacular. It feels as if there is a lot of action going on, almost like I hear the music. Beautiful work.

Wow.... that's really inspiring. I love the movement and the contrasting shadows...and how the eye is drawn both down the cooridor and to the figure. It's like each time I look at it I see a different picture--and yet it's one and the same. Awesome stuff.

I'm glad you've challenged yourself with something because it looks like, by your other pieces, that you've already accomplished so much talent-wise. this looks awesome and you did such a great job on the background. the lighting is really well done and the person looks great.

Wow, that is so pretty! I love the background and the little glimpse of the end of the tunnel. I just wondered, since the shadows of the posts are so crisp, should the girl's shadow be more defined around her feet? Or maybe you used reference for that too, and I'm just all wrong? Still, it is so pretty! I am certainly not one to nit pick.
