Ice and Fire
Oil on Canvas
I felt in the mood for something stunning.
This spurred a conversation about what people are comfortable with. Apparently people tend not to buy paintings where the subject is staring at you. They say it makes you uncomfortable.
So feel uncomfortable. Get over it. I say push yourselves with what you’re uncomfortable with. You can’t get a more intense stare than this one.
I used JayCougar’s beautiful photo as a reference.
Ice and Fire belongs to the following groups:
Character Development, Oil Painting and Practising the Dark Arts Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Face forward is my favorite ! this is a beautiful painting, great work !
Sienna Morris
thank you! Yeah, I’m fond of it myself. Not sure why people are afraid of it. It’s direct, no pussy footing around.

lol, love the description. I would love to have this as an entire wall in my house – like a mural or a feature wall or whatever you call it
Sienna Morris
that’d be an awesome project: a huge mural of this chick staring at you.

love the guts of this one. very nervy and would be a good image for that band called Does it Offend You, Yeah? nicely done.
Sienna Morris
Well, maybe you should let them know that. :)
I dig doing poster/album cover designs. Any project like that gets me doing something that wasn’t in my plans. Though I kinda like my plans right now…..

the colors are great and she looks like she want to jump out and attack you when you’re not looking, or when you are, she looks like a bold one!

Isn’t she awesome? I saw that photo of Jays and I just had to paint her. I actually gave the real painting to a friend of mine.
