I am hosting the
"lying down challenge" on
Daily Paintworks this week. My challenge was very challenging to me. Probably would have punted it if I had not sponsored it. Good to test my patience and resolve. This is painted on an 8 x 10" and the figures felt very small to me. I took the photo in Italy and you can see it on the Daily Paintworks site. The female's head is behind the male's head so it is a little confusing. I decided to edit out all the things in the background and it was hard to decide how I wanted to handle it after that. Happy with the outcome after toiling way too long yesterday. The challenge is to paint something or someone in a state of repose. Hope you will join in.

I just read the challenge and got a kick out of the subject, so had to look up your blog. I recognize and admire your work, and plan to re-visit.
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending the day thinking about what I'll paint for this challenge - it's a great idea (your painting of the couple on the bench is fresh and really lovely)!
Fun challenge Carol, I hope to join in. Your reference was an awkward one, but you really made it read!
ReplyDeleteOh now this is fabulous!! I so love your palette too.
