Palette and reworking a painting

So.... I was not quite convinced with this lady, her hair kept bothering me, and although I wanted her kind of floating, all of a sudden her floatingness bothered me too.

  


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!

  4. Thanks for joining the party this week, it's wonderful to see your palette & Paint! You use a disposable palette too! Aren't they great?

    I 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).

  11. 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

    In those first photos I thought your painting looked fine, nothing bothered me at all and I loved the colors and her serene look. But I LOVE your finished painting! Her sweet little wing and the twist of her hair! Just lovely.

  28. I like your finished angel girl,Ayala.
    Maybe when you started you were feeling "flighty" and hassled. i hope with the final serene portrait you have crossed over into "the calm".
