Today it's another painting of my favourite model my daughter, She doesn't seem to mind sitting still for long periods, which is rather a blessing and so far isn't getting fed up with me asking to draw her!!
This time I have stylised her a little and made a Klimtesque style homage. I am a huge lover of Klimt.
I would have loved to spend time on all the intricate patterns in the background but as usual time is short!!
Linking up to 29 faces
Such a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous. Love the detail in the background behind her. I wish I could get my daughter to sit still... =)

I love your Klimtesque painting of your beautiful daughter.
ReplyDeleteAnd this keeps happening - I am working on a face with circles! but it's taking quite a long time to do because it's quite complicated, but another co-incidence.
I like the way you have surrounded her with circles, and even circles on her neckband. The circles make me think of cross-section pieces of trees, which adds an organic feel to the painting.
There is wonderful patters in backround, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLucky You: You have a model. It means very much, because it is much better paint with a model than without. And You have very beautiful model and You have painted her very well. You have got dear memory with this painting.
Greetings to Your daughter :-)
Thank you Uuna, yes drawing from life is so much better than drawing from photographs. Briony thanks you for your lovely comments :)
DeleteI love all your faces and especially the variety.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Morag - love the colours in this, did Briony approve? x
ReplyDeleteI have just asked her and the reply is 'Yes' so I guess thats ok :)
DeleteAs soon as this picture appears on my Bildschirm I thought this is your daughter. And so it was... I think that shows how well done it is....
ReplyDeleteReally love this one!! How lucky you are to have a live model handy...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece. I love the detail in the background.
ReplyDeletewow, this is a fantastic silhouette.
ReplyDeleteOops, I didn't mean silhouette. I meant profile. That was truly a senior moment.
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to have a live model at home. My husband wiggles too much. Super face for your collection. Really pretty with a lovely colour combo.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I totally love all the shapes!!! circles and squares and rectangles and just absolutely beautiful! I love the gold, twirls and triangles! I love the fact that all those shapes do not take away from the strong figure. Beautiful!
