| "S" oil/canvas 16 x 12 x .5 |
is an young, yet established artist who participated in my class. She has an interesting beauty and a confidence in her work and in her person that radiates.
I really like my painting of S. and I do not know exactly why as it is a bit distanced from my usual. My usual is a smoother and more blended face and hair. In this case, I chose not to eliminate bits of untouched accidental texture throughout the face and hair. Why? Not sure. But I have trusted my instinctual approach for so long that I am not going to turn away now. Maybe I am still pushing the envelope?
