Light Reading


6x6 oil on panel
$100 + s/h - sold

I just had to do another painting of this scene. And will likely do more. I'm still playing with light and shadow - figuring out values. I really like the effect I achieved here without going so dark in the background. And without getting tight. It seems to have more atmosphere, like you can see the dust floating in that patch of sunlight. And believe me, its floating!

ps - this is my daughter, and this side of her head is the one she pulled all the hair out of, so its quite short. Pixie-like. But she won't let me cut the other side to even her up.

This painting blows my socks off (parden the pun). Love it, love it, love it.

Robin, this is an achievement. I love your blog because it's so clear how your work gets ever better as you challenge yourself and build on what you've learned. That truly is inspiring. Sorry your daughter pulled out her hair. Here's hoping life gets more boring for you.
