Description
The first painting off the table in 2010. It feels good to get the first one behind me. I did start it last year and just had it sitting against a wall for the longest time before I could summon the enthusiasm to pick it up again. Glad I allowed the break as it went into a completely different direction than first intended, and I prefer it this way. Highly personal piece which tends to be the case with my canvas work.Took a terrible photo alas, she is a little crooked and I have no idea how to fix it other than reshoot, which I will as soon as this wretched heat wave is over with!
Acrylic on canvas, 24"x32"

Hauntingly beautiful, and a somber reminder of things that way heavy on the hearts of many.

Yes, it is hard not to show ourselves when we put brush to canvas.

When I look closely I can sense the depth of emotion you put into this work Conny. You told me there is a lot of 'you' in this stunner and I must agree...you are both so lovely!

Wow, that is a beautiful piece of art. I don't even want to know how long it took to render all of the folds in her dress.
Wonderful pensive look on her face.

Oddly enough the folds in the dress didn't take that long. I didn't have any reference, so I just winged it and I think the main part of the dress was done in an afternoon. I treated it the way I do water, just loaded the brush and hoped for the best! lol
Thanks so much for the compliment
