I painted Mona's birthday portrait a couple weeks ago (remember? it was a lesson painting in early July), and was pleased with it at the time. But as the days went by, I saw things I thought would make the painting better. So out came the edges of the window frame's shadow and in went lavender and cobalt glazes on her body (the image above is the reworked painting). What do you think? Is it now a smidge better? If paintings hang around in my studio for long enough, I nearly always find something I want to change. It's a horrible habit. Thanks, as always, for looking at and sharing my paintings with your friends and family, Kim

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
Hi Kimberly- So happy to have found you- yes, I agree, it's a tad bit more dynamic! Nadi (http://www.NadiSpencer.com).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nadi! :)
ReplyDeleteJe crois que l'oeil de l'artiste a eu raison... Parfois il faut un certain temps pour voir ce qu'il fallait voir... et cette correction est très légitime...

Time allows the eye to see things differently, that's for sure! Thanks, Martine!
