"E" Again, Dancing In Red




“E” Again, Dancing in Red
She was in the same costume and pose this morning for the second week. I painted her again from a slightly different vantage point in the studio. The invented background needs more work.
15”x 20” watercolor on cold press

  1. How fabulous...she reminds me of a Spanish flamenco dancer!
    She is so amazing...the background is irrelevant..truly.
    She is all I see...:)

  2. Bonjour Anthony,
    Je trouve que vous avez eu raison de lui broder ce beau décor... Il apporte un merveilleux contraste à cette belle femme. Elle paraît si pensive...
    Gros bisous et bon weekend

    1. I was trying to place her outside the walls of the studio.. She belongs in a better place for in her thoughts.

  4. She looks rather danced out! I agree, the background is irrelevant. She is all we see, and I like the touch of red in her hair.

    1. A second week in the same pose is a challenge. The model is bored. Those painting a second painting were either happy with the first or wishing they didn’t have to face the same challenging pose again.
      She had some red flowers in her hair..
