I finally finished this painting in March of this year. It took me a while to actually complete it. I began it just before Christmas of last year. I wasn’t happy with the way it was going so I walked away from it for a while. I have to say that I impressed myself with this painting though. It’s really the first full color figure painting I’ve done in ions. Hands I have to say are one of the hardest body parts to paint realistically… the proportions and perspective are so important and difficult to accomplish. I think these turned out rather well. Of course with practice I will get better with the details… Yes, that means I do plan on doing more figure paintings. It’s a challenge and I need a real challenge now and then the keep my skills sharp.
I haven’t been painting for a couple months. Frustration and discouragement played a big part in that, along with dealing with some things in my life. I’m going through a time of change and adjustment but that’s really no excuse. I love painting and I love the feeling I get when I see a painting coming together and then the final results. Things are still crazy in my life but I not only want to get back to painting, I NEED to get back to painting.
This painting is an 18×24 oil on stretched canvas. It will come complete with the frame which compliments the style and subject. The photos really don’t do this justice. It is much more sharp than shown here. I’m going to list in on eBay with a starting bid of $350 and a buy it now of $400. I will also accept offers off eBay so anyone is welcome to contact me directly.
