30x40
Acrylics on canvas
Inspired but someone I like a lot and after seeing the musical Notre Dame de Paris.
Not finished but getting there. I have been adding a flower every day. Hope to stop in time.i think that I am trying to hide the hand that I don’t like so much.

the hand is fine but the eyes drive me off the page ... what is the object of the gaze????
.. drags me off looking .. beautiful color and display

that is her secret! The colours are actually much brighter!

That's either a 1,000 mile stare, or the lady is playing a bass guitar!
Either way, it leads to an interesting story!

I really love this - she is so "present"!

That's a powerful painting! I like how you use bold colors to great effect.

 

[Triduana]

Love it. I really like how you allow the background colour to show through the subject, and it's a wonderful shade of blue! Really like the flowers too. I'd love to know what she's thinking about.

Was my birthday a few days ago and I received a fascinating gift.
Xina was inspired by a friend of mine who has these eyes that are the colour of CELADON! So I kind of painted my version of her. Sent her the picture before I took Xina to a gallery. Anyway she liked the photo and had Xina printed on a throw for me.

Yes, I saw that on Facebook. It made a great throw and will be a great memento for you to keep.

I was thinking that many paintings could be on a throw.
Just imagine your favorite musician as a blanket. How comforting!
The sky is the limit.
