wow! Very good!#can I ask, did you use a live model? or pics?

~deviantmike423 Feb 7, 2010

It's from an old painting by Bourguereau (sp?)...and thank-you very much for asking.
I wish I DID have a live model to work from tho.
Really makes a world of difference to work from life.

Intense look, strong and intensive colors! Love it!

Really interesting this, I like it a lot. You handle the figure really well, not that that's surprising.
This is almost serene, but there does seem to be something on her mind.

Thanks. i hate the face.....it was never really a part of the composition anyway....so i ignored it, rather than incorporating it into the whole process, which is ALWAYS a mistake.
should have done it headless....seriously.
But your compliment is greatly appreciated.

The face is lovely, Mike, really, it fits well and she conveys mood for sure. I wouldn't have liked a Venus de Milo knockoff as well.

~deviantmike423 Feb 7, 2010

Nice of you to say...thank-you.

~Daniel-Storm Feb 6, 2010
