Late Morning on the Beach, 4x4"- 201401, SOLD
A
full 3 months into 2014! How many false re-starts have I had here over
the many years? Much has really changed this year - life changing kind
of change. My dear mother passed early in January, with family right
there by her side. She lived to be a full 89 years old, and after her
graceful, courageous, beautiful entrance into the life hereafter, I'm
feeling a little left behind, somewhat empty-handed. Full on into the
grief, actually : ) Now I am 47 yrs young, with new chapters
beginning. Mid-life that I must grab by the horns and really do some
selfish, but careful, self-seeking. Expect to see a lot more of my
paintings around these halls!
Although this painting might look simple,
it was really elusive and difficult to achieve just the right sense of
lighting. If you can believe it - I hung on through 4 tries. This is
not a Potthast study, rather my own reference embellished with a few
details that I learned during the months of studies I did a while back.
Most difficult was trying to get the girls' legs and feet in just the
right placement, shape and reflected light in order to manage the
illusion of which leg is leading and which is following.
