I love this technique of leaving the less important parts of the image sketchy, and was influenced early on by Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas.

One of my early influences was Toulouse-Lautrec, a master of the Impression. I always loved the way he left the unimportant bits unfinished and concentrated on his focus of attention.

Brian Towers
I love the light in your work. It has a great ‘sketchy’ look and could quite well be pastel rather than oils. The results are perfect.
Anthea Slade

Roz, this is a real masterpiece…love the dark outlines, the skin tones are spot on and the bits of coloured cloth just make it…
Marilyn Brown
Roz this is brilliant. I just love the way you have chosen to abbreviate the background. The subject matters literally jumps on the page. You have sculpted her onto the page. Fantastic result!

How did I miss this first time around? The black stockings gives it a French Impressionist feel but you have brought it into the 21st century. One of the best nudes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant.
Merry Xmas, Neil

tomasocarthaigh
Modern Venus
She sits there, a modern Venus
The seashell thrown to the tossing seas
And to the viewer she is enticing
And see seeks to seduce and tease
And this modern Venus is waiting
It seems for a man
Eyes closed, as if she is dreaming
Imagining if she can
She is running through a field of flowers
As when young, without a care
And she had not the worries of the world
That are on her shoulders there
But in the coming moments
She will think of them not
In life’s hot passions she’ll enjoy
Her worries will be forgot.
Its a cool picture. Can I replicate it with the verse above with the appropiate credits and links?
Roz McQuillan replied
Thanks so much, tomaso, absolutely, I’d be honoured!
