This painting was done from a live model.
Initially I did sketches, and some generalized washes of color.  Then after giving much thought as to the feeling I wanted to convey, I began applying color.  As a figurative painter I am always adding colors.  Having a true flesh color does not excite me.  Therefore, I use reds, pthalos, teals and yellows. It is at that time that my figure begins to evolve.  Once that portion is blocked in I begin to consider the background and its importance.  In this case, I wanted some definitive lines to take your eye around the canvas.  But I also wanted to blur out anything that would interfere with the figure.

I am a University graduate with a degree in art……………..but that does NOT make me the painter I am! Living in Florida full time, means color attacks my senses on an ongoing basis. I see it, I breathe it, I touch it, I LIVE it!!! I love to use an abundance of color and I very intentionally violate the rules. if I’ve caused someone to STOP and LOOK and THINK about my work then I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. It is all part of the journey of creativity………..and then the anticipation of it all………… How will the viewer perceive my art and will they be touched by it.
