Kelly in oil
Hi good people! This is Kelly in oil on gessoed masonite. It is a 16 X 20. This is the first time I have ever used linseed oil at all in a painting and I love what it does to the flow of paint. How did I miss that over the years? The jacket gave me small fits and I am glad to be finished with it. Overall, the color is more subdued than I usually am able to get and I am pleased with that.
One little note: I find that my digital camera picks up underlying color form some reason (which is impossible to correct) so it is looking a tad more blotchy than it does in person. I think the actual painting has smoother transitions of color.
Thank you for taking the time to take a peek.
