I went, grabbed more paint and went at it with passion. Started with the background, then the hair. And I added a wing, and wrote on it, for a good measure (^_,^)
I am happy now!
This is a sample of the palette I used for this last step, but I did not have the first selection of colors to photograph.
Anyway, this is my post for the Palette and Paint blog, check it out HERE
Happy Paint Party Friday as well!
I love her hair the way it is now. Beautiful painting, Martha!
ReplyDeleteMartha, I love her! I love the changes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Moirah! Thanks Stacy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the party this week, it's wonderful to see your palette & Paint! You use a disposable palette too! Aren't they great?
ReplyDeleteI like how you have finished the painting, the hair is sitting much better now and she has a very peaceful and serene look about her now. The wing is a perfect touch.
I'll be including your painting and palette in the P&P SHOWCASE next Thursday (Australian time).
I like the disposable paper palettes and also Styrofoam plates. Thanks Tracey!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love her! She has such pieceful presence about her. And I see what you meant with the hair. It's so much "her" now. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have very fixed bie the end of the play. Abrazos
ReplyDeleteI actually like all 3 variations a lot!
ReplyDeleteWow, she's so peaceful and gorgeous. I really like the changes you made, it totally changed the mood of the painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the reworked piece too. However, I can see life of this girl in her face. Beautiful.

Martha, your finished painting is gorgeous. I like the hair that is not blowing. That may be because now that I am old, my hair is fine and blows around, getting all messy in the wind. I have always loved hair like in the finished painting. Faye
ReplyDeleteI actually liked the before and the after. She does look peaceful as was said. Very nice piece Martha. Love it! Happy Holidays!
