the commitment, oil on canvas, 30 x 40
 

Hello there,

It's been awhile since i visited this site. It's because of some other stuff that I had to do. anyway, the important thing is that I'm back with a fresh new track.

Here is one of my latest work entitled "commitment". It's a figurative painting using a contemporary impressionism approach or whatsoever they may call it. I hope you like it. If you can say something for my improvement then feel free to tell me so.

thanks,
xander

Beautiful, soft piece, Xander. I like the harmony of your mark-making very much. Could you post a close-up so we could see the brushwork in more detail?

Thank you for you comment. I will try to put detaiul picture later. I was having trouble uploading this pics. this artwork has lots of thick brushstrokes.

Xander,

You have arranged this composition very well. There's a tension between the directions of the woman and the loom, and a repetition of overlapping forms in the mountain and the hat. I like these very much. It would help if you could find a way to post some close-ups so we could really appreciate the brushstrokes and details.

I would also like to hear something about the idea behind this painting and your reasons for choosing the subject matter.

Xander, when I looked at your painting I was immediatly reminded of the quietness of the rice fields around Bali. Mist enshrouding everything. Your painting has that same feel to it and brought back some fond memories...

Sensitive and serene...

to Sharon,Tom, Enzie, Alexandra and Thomasin,

Thank you for all of your replies and comments. i appreciated that so much. i still have some problems when it comes to uploading. i will try to photo shoot my works again so you may see it more clearly. i will have to go to the museum to take some picture of this again. thank you all and God speed.
