I've never painted anything like this, so it was a good opportunity to experiment a bit. I must say, the entire process was approached with a much more casual approach on my part. Not so much of the "stay inside the lines" attitude. Madame Turtle took about two days of play, and I am quite pleased with her. It was fun and fast [for me] and I enjoyed the process.
I've enjoyed seeing the stages - and the finished painting - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI could see this painting in one of the art studios of Hilton Head Island, colors are so peaceful, I can almost hear the ocean....wish I were there right now, drinking my coffee....
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job on mr. turtle! Wonderful! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwwww, super job on this!
ReplyDeleteLoved it. Super cute..
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting to see how you progress in your work! I believe that one of the real difficulties is to take the decision that this was the final touch: "Now, it's ready"!
ReplyDeleteYour work has a very soft, gentle and appealing quality to it. It seems to me to be calming in a turbulent world. This turtle piece is wonderful and thank you for sharing the ref photo and the process. Its always great to see how another artist approaches their work.
