Absolutely sensational! Your use of color and line reminds me of one of my former painting professors. He was always instructing us to let our hand show, and to "push" the color, representing colors realistically without using the obvious. I see a lot of that in this piece.
I also really like the juxtoposition of texture and the real sense of emotion and movement. The range of values really makes this extra impressive.

I'm very impressed with this piece. Have you ever had your work exhibited or is there an online gallery where we might see more work?

Brilliant painting, Lewis! Is it the missus?

I typically don't like paintings of people. I'm weird that way I guess, but I've just never been a fan. Give me a landscape or abstract piece instead. However, this is beautiful. The color and the shadows. I love the way the paint swirls around her. The lighting effects are very good. I'm sure you could make some money with your talent and if you can, you'll be one of the lucky people that gets paid for doing things he loves.

But you're right. You've got to do what you love. It's taken me a long time to figure that one out, and this woman has been the driving force behind that change of mind. Once you do what you love, the other things you need follow. |
