30x30" oil on gallery wrapped canvas 4/2004

The cautious femme gazes apon the lay of the land, questioning her next step. There is a sense of wonder in her body language, as she evaluates the path set before her.

I like the way you use so many different colours. It's like a mosaic, all different pieces that create a beautiful picture together!

Another lovely piece, I saw another similar of your but with brighter colours. I must say I prefer this one because the colours create a calmer more subdued feeling, like she's walking through a dimly lit room.I love the dark in the left hand side it looks like a doorway and the blue looks like a shadow or a more poorly lit area of the room. But most of all I love how shes merged into her surroundings, I can't find an explanation why (no good with words) but its good, not really necessary to explain. But anyway, its another lovely piece. (Adored your autumn pieces)

Thanks so much for your thoughtful words, I truly appreciate it!

Yes, this piece was one in particular that just "flowed", know what I mean? She is integrated into the backdrop because she, and the backdrop, were painted simultaneously. I guess another part of it was the fact that I had gotten a brand new palette knife to work with...there's just something about working with brand new tools sometimes that can be magical ;)

It's a really interesting way of doing it. I haven't yet tried using a palette knife (the thought of how much paint it must use has been a factor!!) but I'd like to try it for my A level course maybe. I love pieces that you don't properly plan, they just work themselves, where it feels like it taing its own course out of your control. You must get that alot because you don't plan your stuff. But yeah, its a good painting :)

This is beautiful. It remindes me of Renoir haha but more impasto. He was more wispy your strokes are stronger, It looks like you treated it tough but made it look so soft and feminine.
