"Peachy"
10"x14"
A portrait after a gap, based on a beautiful picture by Sanja Gjenero I wanted to experiment more with color- intended to make her hair strikingly different in terms of color- but it did not turn out the way I wanted...I even thought of chucking it into the bin after the hair disaster - but then went ahead and completed it.
Its beautiful summer here in UK, so the subject seems perfect! I am off to Birmingham to meet some friends over the weekend, see you all when I am back.
She's beautiful, Arti! I love the way you splashed the blues in her hair...and her expression is wonderful. Enjoy your time in Birmingham!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda the intention was to be outrageously different- but the conservative within me hasn't dies completely yet!Will keep on trying, though.
DeleteThe expression is great. The exaggerated colors actually work very well together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony.Though I guess it would have looked better without a background..
DeleteI love the colours in her hair and her dress. It works well. Great painting
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly ,I enjoyed playing with the colors here..
DeleteArti - this is such a lovely portrait. I love the colors you selected for her hair as well as the dress. You captured a pensive look too! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank Debbie. Doesn't she have the " Mom forced me to eat the peach instead of chocolate" look!
DeleteShe sure is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is beautifully done Arti!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry and Vinayak.
