Tired

[Terri]

What can I say? I was tired! This is 12x16" Arches oil paper, mostly Neopastel and Mungyo Gallery soft oil pastels.

It's at least a year and a half old, because I've chopped my hair off since then.

that's quite nice .. the yellow and purple sing a lovely song and of course green and purple do a lovely dance
.. but you forgot the ------- Tom.

 

[Terri]

I don't get the joke. Now I feel dumb. Or, you know, tired.

I'm happy you liked it - it was all about those purples for me. Thank you, Wayne!

.. the window .. peeping Tom .. you must have heard of him.

Wonderful work, Terri! The simplicity of the figure, the pose, the stare, the colors; I like it all very much. I didn't sleep last night and think the purple under my eyes is a shade darker. I can relate to this!

 

[Artyczar]

This is gorgeous Terri. I love her expression and the colors very much!

 

[Triduana]

I just love those rich velvety purples. It's great!

 

[Perry]

I like how you composed this, the plant is a nice added touch.

 

[Terri]

.. the window .. peeping Tom .. you must have heard of him.

Well! Of course I've heard of a peeping Tom. More importantly, we must now ponder why seeing a window in a painting made you immediately think of him!

Should we worry?

Thank you, Donna! You understood that purple under the eyes. Sorry you can relate, though!

Arty, Triduana, Perry - thank you all so much for your comments!

@Perry : I can hardly do purple without finding a way to add some green. One of my favorite color combinations.

 

[Enyaw]

Should we worry?

Most definitely not. We won't mention age but I watched too many crime solving shows. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I like the graphic style of this Terri … as well as the colour, nice and rich!

 

[Lazarus]

Very deep and beautiful piece. well done.

 

[Terri]

Maureen, Lazarus - thank you both so much!

Great picture, very different than a standard portrait. The feeling of tiredness is obvious, kind of an intimate look into her state of mind. Well done!

 

[Terri]

Thank you, Zen! I don't think I know how to do a standard portrait. I'm happy you like it!

 

[Trier]

Very pleasurable painting, carries the message clearly.
The execution, palette and composition are first rate IMHO.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Trier! I really appreciate it. ❤
