Elizabeth



Acrylic on Postcard - 4 x 6 inches SOLD

Taking a break from the Easter Egg Hunt, Elizabeth sits in the sun and examines her basket (not shown). I'm really enjoying working small and quickly. Even though I'm using acrylics, I've been using the same palette for a week or so now. Makes breaking down a lot easier, as well as starting up. I just snap a postcard to my stand, grab the palette out of the fridge and go to town.

This is beautiful! Love the high contrast and sculptural feel of the form and paint. those sunlit areas really pop.

Stopped by to tell you what a nice job you did on the DSFDF assignment but was stopped in my tracks by this. Love the combination of bright sunlight and the dark shadow.

This is absolutely beautiful, Gringo! It reminds me so much of painter Elmer Bischoff. Great job!

Very successful. Nice loose, broad approach. Can't resist those blue shadows.
