Truth be known, this image took on the look of my wife almost accidentally.
But when I showed it to her, she said, "Is that me?" And that's exactly what I wanted to know when she saw it - if she saw herself in it like I did. Cool.
So, I have been thinking more and more about doing some contemporary images done in Modigliani's style, and if you read this blog, you know that.
I've actually done a few. This one is my favorite though because of how it turned out. Ok, accidental or not, I like it, alot!!
8x10 acrylic paper (terrible stuff, too), acrylics
Me, too.
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, too! Your wife must be very pleased.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Her expression is just awesome. So dreamy and deep in thought. And isn't it fun how drawings/paintings can develop a life of themselves? :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of translating this style into your own ideas/portraits, they're really good.
ReplyDeleteLove this series of yours and how you are pushing it further and further.
ReplyDeleteYour wife must be lovely! This is simply charming.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! She looks so nice and beautiful... This Modigliani's style swits her really well!
ReplyDeleteI agree, very cool!
ReplyDeleteYour colors on this and the coffee cup are very good too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! She has a great expression.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this one!! Love it! The colors, the composition, the face is wonderful. Love the outline. And the texture on the brown in the back. I see Modigliani, of course, but you are there too. I think as you keep doing this - soon it will be all you with a unique style.
ReplyDeleteI hope you frame this one! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. It's fabulous that your wife recognized herself without you saying anything.
