Legs In the Rain 2013
I did this sketch before the sketch I posted
yesterday. This is closer in composition to a small painting I did in 2011 that
placed in a gallery competition. It ended up being sold. I’ve included an image
of the painting as well as the original concept sketch below.
Since I have been sketching umbrellas again,
I thought I’d revisit and hopefully come up with a larger variation or two on
the theme. I’ll get around to doing new painting, eventually.
Sketch: 7”x 10” ballpoint pen
Painting: 7”x 9” watercolor
Concept: 3.5”x 4.5” liner pen, brush pen,
watercolor
Bonjour Anthony,
ReplyDeleteJe pense que la ville de mon ami, Cherbourg serait charmée par vos dessins.
Je le suis tout autant !
Comme j'avais, une fois de plus, du retard pour venir vous visiter, j'en ai profité pour admirer vos autres billets. Et dans le précédent, comme dans ce dernier j'ai tout particulièrement été séduite par les petites jupes soulevées ! Elles apportent de la vie, du mouvement et une certaine sensualité à vos dessins. J'AIME !
Finalement moi qui n'aime pas la pluie, elle procure chez vous du bonheur avec la présence de ces parapluies qui semblent danser !
Gros bisous
I’m so glad you and friend enjoyed. There is a need for a little fun to go with the dark sky when it rains, and some colorful umbrellas that needed just a little more to brighten the day.
DeleteThank you
Wow quite a different yet magnificent trio, the first the sketch perfect overture,
ReplyDeletecolour version is quite cool
and the third blotchy and completely abstract.....you do so much with one sketch
Happy fourth of July my dear dear Anthony, may it be a super celebration and that you can spot the glorious Sparkles of the shinning lights in the sky from your quiet corner!!! x
Time, I think is behind some of these differences, a desire to improve, when maybe the earlier sketch in the end was more than enough.
DeleteI hope the first was the same for you. Plans are to watch fireworks while floating on water. A temporary island, sort of.
indeed and as I re-read congratulations on selling one..if you opened up a shop they would be all bought but you must keep an Island of solitude and that blue one for me....
ReplyDeleteI’m too busy to actually set up a shop. I draw and paint more than I will ever sell, especially of the few subjects I have a passion for. There will always be a surplus of my islands off solitude.
