"Statuesque"
Today, I felt like using the Elegant Writer pen and doing a vignette. OK, I took the easy way out, by letting the bottom of the painting just fade away. I like it because she might or might not be nude. Who knows? I forced myself to use gray tones, and just a little yellow tone added subtly. I thought she looked almost like a statue when I was done, so that's why I titled it "Statuesque". I did the sketch of this girl in April, 2011 while waiting for our plane to take off. And I did the background abstract then too. We were on the runway for over 30 minutes, all loaded up, but going nowhere. I was so glad that I had a pen, so I could sketch. Below are the 2 sketches that I combined to make this painting. I turned the abstract upside down. For those who don't know, an elegant writer pen is a marker that smears when you wet it, so it adds great shading. Karlyn Holman introduced me to it years ago, and I really LOVE working with it. This painting is 10" x 10" and available for $125.
