I decided to paint Giselle in Acrylics, it allows me to slap on paint without worrying: with oils I'm still finding my way and am more considered in the work.

I'm almost tempted to leave it here - it shows her as she is: totally in control yet a wild and free spirit with an outrageous sense of humour
Looks great! Valerie
ReplyDeleteHello!:) You have caught her likeness perfectly.
ReplyDeleteOh, John.
ReplyDeleteGo with your gut-feeling.
Show Giselle as she is: A free and wild spirit with an outrageous sense of humour.
This is exactly how you have captured her in your painting.
I laughed just looking at her wild, free, spirit.
Good luck to you both.
Good morning John!:) Feel free to choose any of my photos to paint, and thank you for asking.:)
ReplyDeleteHow kind of you; I will acknowledge you when I paint from your fantastic phorographs
DeleteI love the understated spontaneity in this one John and it screams "free spirit".
ReplyDeleteI say, put down your brush and call it done - a wonderfully interpretive painting. And yes, it does catch her spirit!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Love her expression
ReplyDeleteJohn, I think you're right. Yield to the temptation, and stop. You can always paint another. She really is showing that controlled, yet wild personality!
