Languor (closeup)
This is a portion of a large figurative painting I've been working on for a while. (I'm thinking of adding a section for "Figurative Painting" in my website.) This was painted from a photo taken under natural north light from high windows.
Oil on panel (ABS mounted to masonite), 48" x 30".
Marvin, no cadmiums were injured or killed during the course of this painting.

Having been previously titillated with the full composition, I can report that it is fabulous. To my eye, every component is well thought out and wonderfully executed.
Linda,
I'm also thinking of adding your figuratives to a new section on my web site.

Linda, this is absolutely wonderful. You have captured great life in the eyes. Of course I want to see the entire piece. I might have to pay a "happened to be in the neighborhood" visit to your studio soon....
Sincerely,

Linda,
Up until about one hundred years no cadmium paints even existed. Many people believe that the old masters were far superior to today's artists. It is generally accepted that this was solely a function of their training. Far be it from me to draw any conclusions.
Nicely done.

Linda, was this a commissioned piece? If not, how did you find the model?
