Rush in oil




Oil on canvas, 14" x 11"

Friday's session, Rush ( short for Rochelle, and I mistakenly spelled her name as Roche in the charcoal posted recently). Although 'rush' is really how I feel in open studio.

Rush has gorgeous coloring, and a beautiful face, and this time I came prepared with oil. Although there are a ton of errors, I had SO much fun with this. We also had a photo shoot with her, so if I get the time I may try to do a litlle tweaking.

Wow!

Hi Chris -

I love it when I open up a link and the first thought on seeing the art is "wow".

So - WOW!

So vibrant and alive! I'd love to be at the easel just behind you, so I could see this develop. And by observing closely enough, my version might not turn to lumpy gravy.

Great values here. When you squint it all knits together wonderfully. Great Job!
