    Hi Matt….thanks…yeah…I’m pretty sure its the first back view I’ve done. The aim was to do something quick and simple to sell on eBay…however it turned out far better than I expected and now I’m wondering whether to keep it :-))

    Lovely tones in this image. I love the contrast of the brilliant red against the over all bluish tint. Shading is fantastic as well.

    Matt Mawson

    Looks like I’m the first bidder for this piece on eBay, Lee.

  • Lee Wilde replied

    Matt…before you bid any higher I should let you know that the painting I’ve listed on eBay is a second version of this painting here in my portfolio. The original Mia (above) is acrylic on stretched canvas. The painting on eBay is acrylic on Arches paper. If you have another look at both images you’ll see the differences. Still pretty good though, I think.

    i am actually in love with your work! i’m studying art at the minute at school, and my next project is distortion…i was a bit dubious at first looking at dali and francis bacon etc…i’d never been that keen on them..but just looking through your work kind of reminds me of distortion, especially the linear work.
    It’s an inspiration, i hope i can aspire to be half as good as these peices. :)

  • Sassafras

    Sassafras

    I don’t paint but I am strongly attracted to the mystery conveyed by the blck, one and grey and stimulated mentally by that shock of RED hair. Also, her back being turned makes me wonder…what’s on her mind? What is she pondering…
    I say Keep her , for now: you can always change your mind about that later on.
    Walk in beauty, Lee,
    Sassafras
