#18 of the challenge. I snapped a photo of this woman and she looked liked she was "wishin and hopin" for someone or something to arrive. The title is an old Dusty Springfield song (which is dating me I'm sure!). This is 8x10 with 1 1/2 inch sides that are painted to extend the image. Hangs without a frame and also looks great sitting on a shelf.
The title dates me too - lol. I really like how you chopped the top of her head off - some how it make the painting less of a study and more of a vignette. Super once again Laurie!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val! Good observations- I didn't know I what it would be like!
DeleteGreat song! I remember it well! Yes, she does look like she is waiting for something or someone hopeful. Love the composition - and super bright color!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pattie! Maybe I'll do one called "I Only Wanna Be With You". My fav of hers!
DeleteWonderful position to capture...love how even though her mood is subdued she is rocking a fabulous blouse as she's "within and hopin."
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks, Laurelle- I love her blouse, too!
DeleteThat won't get you into his arms! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the quiet, steady blue floor. The cheerful, hopeful pops of red, and the light in her hair. Wonderful Laurie :)
Hahahaha!! No that won't work as far as getting into his arms!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila!
