When the light went out

[Nufocus]

Trying hard to abstract the figures…..

Oh, her guardian spirit sits upon her left shoulder!

 

[Enyaw]

I do like the color arrangements.

 

[Artyczar]

I think you are a master colorist. This is an interesting composition. I like the Xs and the left-hand yellow part that's been added. Gives it a lot of interest.

I don't quite 'get' the line through her face. The image of the black man in the background is skillfully done and nicely mysterious. The abstract background is excellent, as usual.

Picasso .. "The Dream"

I could be wrong but I doubt it.

 

[Bongo]

When I was a kid I would watch Bob Ross paint and just as he was about finished he'd take his brush and make a "big 'ol tree" right across the painting -- as I screamed "NOOO".

Marvelous painting Nufocus despite the "big 'ol (red) tree".

 

[trufflecat]

Ah, but Picasso's line is the line of her nose!

 

[Enyaw]

Look again. The line creates a P on top side of her face

 

[snoball]

Great work! I think I could recognize one of yours(at least the recent ones) anywhere.

 

[trufflecat]

In any case, we all know our NuFocus is more original than Picasso any day.

 

[Terri]

I find it beautiful and dreamy.

 

[Nufocus]

Wow!! So many wonderful observations. Greatly appreciated! Thank you all!
Picasso, more original?!?….. Absolutely, Susan!!

 

[Enyaw]

I forgot to mention: good artists borrow .. great artists steal: and often.

 

[Nufocus]

Interesting comment, Wayne!…..
As a matter of fact I did not have that Reve by Picasso in mind at all… Btw, that’s the one that Steve Wynn (its owner) poked a hole in by accident…
However, the comparison of the pose that Susan pointed out to is interesting.

This piece went through some changes alright!… as do most of my works. I tend to revisit them time and again….. When at last I leave them alone and sometimes lock them up in frames they sigh in relief, I’m sure….
So here we go: showing a few images of the “evolution” of this one:

 

[Nufocus]

Shucks, I’m no expert in the technicals of this wonderful site. So, the order of these 3 images should be looked at chronologically from bottom to top. The top shot here is the current finale….

 

[Artyczar]

I love how it all turned out Nufocus. The abstracted one is more my thing of course. Very well done! I love it!

 

[Lazarus]

My God. you are good. these pieces are high art made.

 

[Nufocus]

My God Lazarus! You are so kind!! Thank youuuuu!!
