Julie, Cindy,
Thank you both so much
That was an interesting website julie thank you.
I feel that I have to explain a few things in particular about this particular style.
When I said I overthought this painting, I meant the way I layed it all out. How I brought it all together, there were unnecessary and intricate element/color placements I shouldn't have done, but there are also other placements I would like to keep..thus redesigning the layout was the answer to a part of my problem, but not the final solution.
My Grandfather was not a realist, he had a unique style which he developed over 50 years ago with arabic calligraphy, his paintings had a different life to them that I can't explain with words. His paintings inspired me to paint this one in the 1st place, I wanted to start from where he left off and develop it further.
This is a portrait he painted of his daughter (my aunt) dated 1973.
