Face #26 of 29. A Goddess

This is challenging to me: stopping way before I think I am done. Why? Because I am getting feedback here at home to stop adding paint  \(ツ)/

So, based on that.... I have here this lady. Not sure if she is a Goddess, Mother Nature, or just a sort of free spirit girl. I am not going to even attempt to make her even-faced. This is very lose brush for me and scary and all, I'm leaving it as is.

I am very happy with the background and a very simple palette:

She is beautiful. She looks like she was at a spa or something.

she looks Hawaiian to me. A wonderful goddess.
it would be hard to have comments as i am creating art, sometimes my own thoughts are confusing enough ;-)

thank you for hosting 29 faces!

She looks like a Hawaiian princess to me. So beautiful. it is scary to just stop. Good for you - wish I could do that.
BTW - THANK YOU!!! for hosting 29 Faces. It pushed me and stretched me more than Yoga and just as good for the soul. I loved the challenge and I'm sooooooo glad you thought to launch this idea and bring together an amazing group of artists. It has been so inspiring. Let's do it again!!

I really like the 'loose brush' style on your latest work. I like that you can see through the layers :)

Love this - she might be one of my favorites! Happy PPF!

So expressive! I also like the eye color matching background, making them pop!

Nordljus said...

She looks beautiful! The background is gorgeous, and I like the loose brush style.

Wow, this gal has a look of her own. She's dark haired and blue eyed and very expressive. She has a mind and a look all her own. I like this. . .Blessings, Janet PPF
