Emma in Purple



This is oil, 16" x 20", on a gessoed board from www.realgesso.com.

Emma's parents are art collectors and I placed her in front of one of their paintings. She is a very creative young lady and I was excited that everybody went along with my idea for the beads around her head.

This is great Linda! It has a neat fairy/elf thing going on there also.

Linda,

Your beautiful mythic lady looks like she has recently emerged from the deep blue sea. A little mermaid?
Great contrasts.

Allan

Linda,

I feel a wave of DEEP resentment creeping over my erstwhile calm and saintly persona.

You get to paint a beautiful model AND a beautiful painting AND get paid for it.

After over a month of searching for a model, pay at now $15 per, 12-20 hours a week, flexible days, I WAS ready to call Club Balloons for a 'dancer', until I read they make $700 a night seducing a pole.

Really imaginative and gorgeous, Linda. The parents should be really overjoyed.

Dang! Sorry to have been misleading, Sharon, this was done as a gift. I do tend to push for offbeat ideas, though. And thanks, Denise and Beth.

Linda,

I dont want to go off-topic in your Unveiling here - so move this somewhere ok? I just want to make sure you see this -

Can you tell me what if any the difference is between the realgesso panels and ABS for painting on? Because of all the hoopla I think I need to stop using the ABS, but I love the surface so much! I have 2 realgesso panels and just havent used them yet. Also - Ive had problems with glare with the ABS and was hoping the panels were better.

Thanks!
Kim

Dear Linda,

Beautiful piece, of course! Apologies for wighing in so late - I love the color harmony and the gaze.

Congratulations!
