Over the holidays, I ventured into oil painting. It has been a blast. They aren’t dry yet, as you can imagine — and the color in the house is not giving me the best frame for the picture. This is the first one…
This is the second one. As it dries, it is actually revealing more color, so…
This is one of them both.
The first one I would like to call “Eve” while the second is “Yael/Judith.” There is purple tent becoming more pronounced as it dries. Each one is like a puzzle because I get to figure out the shapes, the colors, and the textures.
I really, really like oil. A lot. Not simply because of the smell of the linseed oil either.
You can click on the pictures to see them larger — but not too large.
I don’t claim that these are good, only that they are mine.
Very nice! You are your own artist but I see Paul Gauguin and Frida Khala in these…
thanks, David!
But “Yael/Judith”…
I have a sudden cranial pain.
what? you know… the woman who killed the dude
If the first is Eve, the second should be Lilith…for some strange reason not to be mentioned.
no, we… won’t mention that reason…
🙂
While I can see traces of Gauguin in the second, with a further exaggeration of angles, I perceive hints of Picasso in the first.
