Description
Oil on canvas, 120 cm X 90cm. Aprox. 100 hours.Portrait of Karen, this was going to be my entry in the trad art day contest, but I just didn't get it finished in time try as I might.
The blue took me FOREVER. ugh.
Photo a bit grainy, but you get that I guess.
Will put a WIP slideshow up at some point, wee bit tired right now.
Much love and thanks to sbaraci and stigmatattoo
Also to Karen for modeling, inspiration, putting up with my bitching about painting blue for 2 weeks, and feeding and watering me during the project.
Oh and also for being by my side through the good and bads

So sensitive, and mysterious, and so human in its presence.
A tangibile spiritual element to it as well that speaks to the richness of what it surely feels like to be alive in your skin, in the moments your eyes are taking this vision in.
Have you heard of the Blue City of Chefchouen?
I sure am glad you're producing...
Thanks!

You deserved a DD David, very good work, the compostion and colors are great.
Even if it took you forever, the blue work very well.

thanks. I'm amazed I managed this in 2007, I really wasn't that good at the time. I'm tempted to have another go at a similar suject with my current skill level and really see what I'm capable of

how can this possibly be a painting o.O just beyond words. however, it feels like the hand doesn't belong, a bit too chubby and crumple I guess. just my feeling, nevermind

Don't worry I won't tell Karen you said she has a chubby hand ^^

:::sigh::: A lovely woman is always a work of art-you capture her figure SO well. I am in love with it. I wish I could appreciate it in person.
Cheers to you, talented 'irate'
