Goddess
oil on canvas, original size 30×90 cm
taken me months to finish this one, my first attempt at real glazing, usually I finish a painting pretty much within a few days, and perhaps go back to it a few weeks later to add something. With this one I really tried laying down thinner layers of paint, and used yellows on top of the blue background to paint the green leaves. A little bit of cheating with green for the darker part of the leaves instead of more blue, I was too impatient again…. I have a concept drawing in my sketchpad at the moment that I will try out for glazing, think I’ll go and get myself some acrylics for the base layer first ; – )

The colours are so rich and vibrant. It was well worth the time to glaze it. What a goddess!

Ah! technique, technique, technique.
I really like everything about this painting – especially the composition and the juxtaposition of the intense eyes and the whimsical leaves and colours.

Well done Marie – The colours really glow and the modelling on the head is beautifully done. I love the vertical format. The painting has the look and feel of a highly accomplished finished work. The time and effort you have put into this really shows. Wonderful painting, full of suggestion. Great work!
