I’ve always believed that some paintings have their own internal clock, and "Emerald & Ember" is currently taking a little more time to "bloom" than I expected.
🎨 The Progress: In the close-up (Slide 1), you can see she’s starting to find her soul. Her skin tones are emerging and her blouse is ready, but I’m taking a beat to get those final details—the shamrocks, the fiery hair, and the depth of those emerald eyes—just right.
🏠 The Studio Family (Slide 2): You can see her here tucked in with her bigger studio mates for scale!
✊🏾 "Guiding Star": My portrait of Harriet Tubman, taking a place of honor for Black History Month.
🦌 "Sylvan Reverie": My antlered Dryad, currently in her earthy underpainting phase.
🐼 Panda Perks: To keep my energy up, I’ve been fueling my studio sessions with these adorable panda cookies to keep the inspiration flowing!
Thank you for your patience as I find her spark. She’ll be worth the wait! ✍️☕
Lovely so far
ReplyDeleteLooking great!
ReplyDeleteI love her eyes and sweet facial expression! I love your artistic talent!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the timeline for a piece of art. Art does have it's own way of coming alive and as an artist we must listen to that. For me, if I try to force an art piece it inevitably turns out bad. I love your piece. Always the eyes have so much emotion. I invite you to share with SITAR today. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks so very very much!
