I am back from my trip to NYC to visit my daughter. Although we were busy non-stop, I have to admit that I missed my painting....my hands kept wanting to hold a brush. Next time I travel, I may at least bring watercolor pencils:-)
I have worked some more on my Mascarone. Not too sure what to think of it. He certainly looks very sad in spite of all the colors on his face:-) What do you think?
There is still a lot of work to do on this painting, but apart from from the eye area, most of the face is done.
I was thrilled to find some mascaroni in NYC:
I wish you a great weekend!
Love this- don't think he looks sad, just solemn and stately...really nice! I really like the perspective you are doing this one from. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHe may look a bit sad but it makes a great painting. I think the perspective is great too.
ReplyDeleteReally like how this one is looking, Christiane, especially the face.
ReplyDeleteComing along beautifully!
ReplyDeleteKathy, thank you. You are always so diplomatic:-)
ReplyDeleteVicki, I think I would probably look quite sad too if I had spent the last 500 years in the sun, wind and sleet:-) The perspective is different...probably breaks a few rules!
Ann, coming from a portrait expert like you, your comment about the face means a lot to me. Thank you!
Deb, thank you. I was hoping to get it finished in time to enter it in a juried show today, but I will miss the deadline by at least a week:-). Hopefully, the rest of the painting will continue to go well.
The colors are very pleasing,as is the composition, eager to see the completion of this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I am very pleased that you like it!
