#9 of the challenge. I was 3 -4 paintings ahead. Now I'm not. Uh oh..I know where I'll be all day! These people were really fun to paint. There may be troubles with them, or everything might just be fine. I just know that the hat girl has something important to say.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue!
DeleteI think she is gossiping - and that guy has a cool glass of brew! Nice one! Your people are fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pattie. Probably my favorite thing to do...people!
DeleteOr, hat girl could be holding everyone else conversational hostage, ya just never know.
ReplyDeleteDid you use a reference photo? Love your shadows, your values. One of these days I want to return to my values exercises again.
I laughed when I read your comment re being ahead with paintings and then not, because as I opened your page, but before I read your post, I was thinking, "Laurie must be ahead with paintings if she posts so early in the day. Good idea." !
Thanks, Dotty! I have drawers full, and sketchbooks full of people in different poses, settings, using different gestures, etc, and usually combine them to create a scene. That was my basis for my "Streetscene Series" (on my website)that I want to get back into. And I'm an early riser. Mornings are my very favorite time of day. I lay in bed dreaming about that first cup of coffee!
DeleteWow!! I predict someone will put a frame on this one! Have you ever considered doing a DPW ArtByte, Laurie?
ReplyDeleteChris, you are too much. Thank you for the great compliment.
Deletefabulous! I really like the way you do people; so few strokes but so much meaning - great piece.
ReplyDeleteThis is fun Laurie, I think everything is A-OK!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val and Sheila!
