Painting # 37

Here is the 37th painting I have done to date, and the first of 2014. 
    Another Geisha of the 19th Century. It's in the style of  Kitao Masanobu (1733 - 1816).  I just liked the lines and couldn't resist. As usual, forgive the photography.

  2. I see you have been busy since I last visited you! Nice to see you still are inspired about the Geishas, because they are lovely! Like the fish too :) Would have liked to see the comission for the wedded couple, I´m sure it was lovely :)
    To end this I would like to wish you a great and creative year of 2014! Take care!

  6. A fine painting and quite large! Just how do you do those lines in acrylic - with a brush or something else?
