I have been wanting to do this figurative painting for a long time. I remember the day I saw this young girl wade into the Gulf of Mexico, wearing her hat.

It was blinding hot and I was tired and thirsty. I shot a photo of her and went in search of shelter. The image was in my files for years before I pulled it out, and painted it, last week.
It is the first figure I have done with a palette knife, (quite a struggle) but in the end, I am happy with it.
I have to admit, I get lazy. I always feel the figure is a stretch of my sketching skills. Instead of doing more of them, I shy away......the wrong thing to do! I am happy I finally tackled this figure and my goal is to attack them more often.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Bonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteJ'aime la manière comme votre jeune femme évolue en tenant son chapeau. Les nuances de bleus sont sublimes. Très joli travail.
Gros bisous 🌸
