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. ;)

Linda, this is wonderful! Your best yet . I love the softness in the face. Thanks for posting the closeup. Good title too.

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.

WOW! I'm coming straight over to see the entire piece!

Linda, you've really incorporated so much subtlety and beauty. There's a real sense of depth and atmosphere. Simply gorgeous.

Hi Linda, you've raised the bar here. Where can I see the whole piece? This is breathtaking.

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,

Stunning work! The warm areas are perfectly placed. Can't wait to see the entire painting.

Linda,

This is simply stunning! I eagerly await a link to view the whole composition. Maybe we should all join a chorus and congratulate you in unison!

Linda:
Teach your pet this word:
Master piece!
( Linda's pet is a parrot. Linda lives in Phoenix, a name she herself is well qualified)

I've seen the entire piece also - SO beautiful! Linda, as my kids say: "You ROCK!"
