“SO”
was back yesterday in the same straightforward, sort of stiff, pose, she
provided last week.I failed again to
get past the mechanics of painting just what I saw.
I'm really glad you avoided the temptation to add to what you saw. I truly believe this one was meant to be painted exactly as it was...the "stiffness" is a part of it's allure...as is her rather unsure expression. I sense a story unfolding...the beginning of a nothing special day...perhaps even a day perceived as challenging...that she is unwilling to move into. But...there is a lot of confidence in all that gorgeous yellow...I am willing her to wrap it around herself and absorb it's powerful warmth...:)

As always I like the story you manage to find in my work.
