kookylane, about 1 year ago

oooh, more beautiful work from you! love!

Johdie Lee, about 1 year ago

Thanks everyone, glad you like it. I’ve been meaning to do more work like this.. one day…

I’ve probably used unconventional methods to create this. I often use my fingers to blend colours and I like adding water.. even on canvas (that’s how I did the buildings in the backround). It works for me.

Kim Shillington, about 1 year ago

This is wonderful Johdie, the colours and scene really add to the atmoshere. Looks like you have ran down the road and sat quietly to ponder life. Nice work:)

Do you ever escape into your walkman (or ipod showing my age here) Johdie?

Johdie Lee, about 1 year ago

I definitely do, couldn’t survive without music. It goes hand in hand with my art.

Helene Kippert, about 1 year ago

Elaine van Dyk, about 1 year ago

Fresh and modern is this piece…stunning!!!

Johdie Lee, about 1 year ago

Thanks LostBoy, how almost poetic of you.

FoxyLox, about 1 year ago

i know nothing about painting…. but i do know that this piece is gorgeous. i love the tones!

TorkianMan, about 1 year ago

I absolutely love this picture. I live how the horizontal and vertical lines work with the woman’s face. The colors are so nicely put together. Amazing job!

Johdie Lee, about 1 year ago

Cheers FoxyLox and TorkianMan. Glad you think the background works with the woman’s face as it was something I wasn’t sure of at the time.

dendoo, 11 months ago

this is very nice. she feels so sophisticated and i know this sounds weird but i love her cheeks

Johdie Lee, 11 months ago

Her cheeks? Haha..well thanks. I tried something different with the face because I’m not very good with blending. Thanks for the comments dendoo and lucid.

i really like this

BLYTHART, 7 months ago

The sketchiness of the backgrond brings the viewer’s eye back to the main subject – clever. I love this picture.

Johdie Lee, 7 months ago

Thanks guys. When I sketched this I had an opposite environment to go with it, but I never got to paint it. Maybe I will one day just to see what it looks like next to it.

Per Ove Sleen, 5 months ago

Incredible, I just love this one too…
