The Wedding Guest

Wedding Guest, 2009, 12x16, Oil on Gessoed paper

I kept trying to get this painting posted here all weekend, but I was busy, busy, busy. I pulled every muscle in my body doing the gardening that I have put off for so long this spring. And I have the most interesting sunburn patterns on my back and arms. heh. No pictures of those, sorry, but next time I am considering doing something with stencils, (thanks for the idea, Carla!), so maybe something will show up here next time.......

Anyway, I am quite happy with this painting, I love the thingy in the hair, not sure if I like how I actually depicted it here, but I can always try again in another version of this lady, right? There is one more in this group of three and I thought I was finished with it, but after looking at it this morning, I see that it needs some more work. Will post it in a few days.

Well, unless I ruin it.

Always exciting to see first the underpainting and then the completed, colored painting. Looking forward to seeing what you're up to with stencils ! Thanks for sharing your art life with us.

Tracy, love how this came out!

(And did I see a painting of yours in the latest Pottery Barn catalog?)

It's good. Not so sure about the purple stuff on the lady's head...

Ghislaine, thanks and just a joke about the sunburn stencils! Will be trying to NOT get any more sunburns this year;)

Thanks Kim, and no, it wasn't me in there, will have to look for it though.....

Thanks Kim. Will put it up on Monday!

Sunil, I don't disagree about it in the jpeg, but the thing on her head is one of the elements that translates much better when viewing the piece in person. These paintings have been so difficult to photograph.....
