Hi Allan,
I've been doing so many old houses and landscapes lately that I just haven't been around much. It feels really good to do something just for fun.
I was hoping someone would comment on her legs. I used a photo reference (copyright free, for artists) for this painting. Every real human that has agreed to model nude for me has chickened out, so being out here in the woods I had to resort to one of my art books. Her leg was actually even higher and more tense, I lowered it quite a bit already, but really was on the fence about relaxing it all the way down due to the lack of a model. So, I am left with the prospect of using my own legs to see just how the shadows fall. This should be fun (sarcasm)!
I've already toned all those areas down, the collarbones etc. Thank you for the second eyes though..... I always appreciate your comments.
