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.
a DD! hooray!
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

Traditional painting methods, oil paint on canvas.
took me a month from start to finish, with about 4 days off and a couple of half days in there as well.

So sumptuous. I love it!

She doesn't look frail to me at all, she looks supple and solid and luxuriant.

Amazing work.

Yes I have to agree there, much as I love Sandra, she has a slightly different view of my work then I do.
But I guess all emotional imact in art comes from the viewer..so I just have accept that

slenderthunder In reply to Jumprabbit [2007-11-25 02:48:14 +0000 UTC]

Yep. I actually like it when people make up their own stories about my art-as long as I don't have to agree with them.

Fantastic. All that blue pain was well worth it.. you have these subtle details for a fairly simple piece and it makes it a great work of art. The wrinkles of the foot I love. The fabric is so real in weight and movement.

Fantastic

Alinedra In reply to ??? [2007-11-16 23:23:52 +0000 UTC]

I'm completely amazed at this. Part of me still thinks it's a photograph

The only thing i think that's weird about it is her lack of spine definition, BUT, since this is a photograph of a painting, it could be there and just not visual to us.


This is just absolutely amazing. My favourite part is the hand, it's gorgeous. I wonder if i'll ever learn to do cloth like that. practice makes perfect And you've got it!

Jumprabbit In reply to Alinedra [2007-11-26 00:26:26 +0000 UTC]

Well thank you , as it happens the spine falls just behind the cloth down her back, the bare bit below the cloth is the very lower back/upper butt, where there is no spine visable either. I did work from a photo (1 of more then 200 slight variations of the pose I took till I got what I had in my head)
Glad you like
