Today I searched Morguefile.com for some inspiration before deciding on a photo of two young women at the airport, sleeping on the floor. The blue background really caught my eye....I do love blue, and lots of it!
I have some photos to share of my progress today. Very excited about this 10x20" piece. The initial photo that I used for inspiration although I loved the scene, was a little cluttered for me. I prefer less in a composition than more and I'm really trying hard to simplify my paintings...focus on one subject rather than several.
I took these photos in one hour increments:
Photo I worked from.
My sketch with a blue giant Sharpie marker
Starting on the paint application
Working on her skin a bit...
Five hours into the project...about half way through.
I plan to enter this piece into the MFA Fall Member Show which begins in two weeks. Stay tuned for more updates on my progress.
As always, I appreciate you plugging along with me in my little country studio!
