Your post pushed me in the right Fauvist direction--and the Schmid color chart work I've been doing paid off. I'm still working on this painting, but it's taking on the feeling I want it to have.

The colors here are not as vivid as they are on the actual canvas-- in fact, nowhere near as vivid. But it was a very good day at the office. Tomorrow will be as good when I attack the lower half. I can't wait.
Thank you Danielle, I need all the encouragement I can get as I find my way through this very ambitious project. But: I am learning so much, all the weeks I've spent have been well worth the struggle. Hugs.
Je suis très heureuse de vous retrouver après mes longues semaines d'absence... Le soleil, la lumière et la végétation luxuriante de l'Île Maurice me manquent déjà ! Ma consolation est de pouvoir ouvrir à nouveau la porte de votre blog... Quel incroyable travail vous êtes en train de faire ma chère ! Je suis éblouie et j'attends avec impatience d'en entrevoir davantage.Un trio extraordinaire ! Une très jolie palette de couleurs. Gros bisous
It is so sad to come home after a holiday. It takes me a week to accept I'm back and back to work in the house and in the studio. Hopefully, your weather is better than ours; this has been a winter to forget., but excellent, on the other hand, for painting. Thank you Martine for your kind words.
Its amazing how well a portrait turns out when you take your time! This is beautiful, Linda..and they all look wonderful. I can't wait to see this one finished!
I'll bet! Me too. I am close. My New Year's Resolution was to finish this one,another one and two large landscapes. Of those paintings, this one was the most difficult, but I can see the Finish Line. I am days away.
This painting has been a revelation of all I don't know about the medium and color. It has forced me to do some quick studies. The studies have been most helpful. I am glad I persevered.
Thanks Linda. It's been a struggle, but I may end up with something worthwhile while having learned a PT about the medium and color. All worth the trip.
Super ziet dit er uit heel levendig lieve groetjes Danielle

Really nice - great colors! The background reminds me of your landscapes.
ReplyDeleteIt is a rather huge painting I did years ago--12 x 6 feet. As I worked on the boys, I realized it would be a good backdrop.
ReplyDeleteWow Linda this triple portrait is amazing. It's mesmerizing with everyone looking at the viewer !!! The finish can't be too far away.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should change one of them? Have him looking at the next guy to bring some mystery to the set up? I hope to finish soon. It's been a struggle.
DeleteI really like this.

Deletefantastic! You are really bringing it home! I really love it...what a great job you have done.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Learning a lot about oils and color as I go. Getting close to "good enough." Doesn't mean I won't post it again. Studying Schmid on the side.
DeleteWow, wow and wow! Ambitious and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Painting.
Same to you Nora. I am having a very productive time in the studio. Learning a lot and enjoying every minute.
