Babushka
Just finished this one. I actually started this one before Diana but got tired of it and put it away - not really intending to finish it. It was done on unsanded paper and I didn't like the feel of it - especially after experiencing the very nice, sanded paper that I used for Diana. So I forced myself to finish this one in spite of my lack of motivation. I always liked the way the face was coming along, but everything else was pure tedium.
I took the photo of this woman at the same market where I photographed the old man in Tak! Ukraine - I think the two were together, probably husband and wife. I think she has the greatest face/expression, but - again! - not the greatest reference photo - light-wise.
Pastel, approx. 17 X 20" on Twinrocker (Cornflower blue).

David, I love it...I love it...I love it....!
You know I am a sucker for old folks and you did this painting of her with such sensitivity and skill. I have to stop writing so I can have another look. Just stunning!
Ok, I took a look at the gentleman as well (I had missed that post). Wau, just beautiful!
How did you create the texture in her head cover? It looks like a soft knit and must have taken hours to do.

Oh David... ! This is another knockout, such beautiful sensitivity on this. Your edges are lovely here. (I am really starting to love diffused light conditions). Congratulations on another wonderful piece.

I want to have a cup of tea with this lady and then go shopping for vegetables with her!
This is wonderful. Your lack of motivation does not show at all. I think you got the lighting to really work for you in the pose and composition. Beautiful.
