"L" In Red




“L” in Red


She posed earlier this afternoon. I sketched her in with a black sharpie and spent much of the rest of the session deciding which lines to cover with paint.
No this is not the “L" I live with. She refuses to pose.
16”x 20” Acrylic on stretched canvas.

  1. Cher Anthony bonjour,
    Une oeuvre qui m'émotionne. Le choix de ces nuances rouges apporte une grande présence. Un très joli travail...
    J'aime la douceur que traduit son visage.
    Gros bisous

    1. She does have a kind face, and the combined coloring of her complexion and dress was fun.
      Enjoy the holiday weekend too.
      Thank you

    1. I agree, though less thought to meanings was on my mind while painting her.

    1. The “L” I live with is pretty too☺
      The passion in this case was in how much red appeared in this model and her simple pose.
      Thank you

  5. She is stunning in red...reminds me of a deep scarlet sunset - in summer, of course!
    A magnificent portrait...:)

    1. Red does seem to encourage stronger memories, and I agree more so in summer.
      Thank you
