Artist's Comments

Ohhh yes, its has been quite a long time since my last submission. I have worked on this painting (on and off) for the last year or so. I've been really busy exploring with photography... but I knew that I would always come back to painting. Well, photography has inspired me into doing more personal work from now on.

But before I get into that I wanted to thank :iconhellwoman: for letting me use her picture as reference. Please visit her gallery [link] she does some amazing work!

I think this painting was the biggest challenge yet, sometimes I think that I'm crazy jumping into an image like this one... but I'm happy with it. I think its as far as I can go with it.

:-) thx

ps.where is my tattoo :P
:iconpapiland:
I knew you were going to ask me that ;)
And believe me, I love your tattoo very much and think its the strong element in the picture.

I guess I wanted to show a more vulnerable side of the scene and... well I didn't include it.

I hope you're not disappointed.

Nice work!
Sorry about the lateness of my reply Ive been awol of late and just only now going through my devs.
I love the strong contrasts, really good work on the fabrics also.
I used to be really good at fabrics but i seem to be struggling with them as late as you'll prob see in my next upload lol but youve got them nailed here, well done.

Anyway once again a really nice piece

Hey! I was wondering if you were still around! Thanks for your comments as always. I think I spent way too much time on the fabric and honestly it looks much better in person... but it was a good exercise. I guess every time I know more of what I want and don't want to paint. Lately its more like I don't paint.

Hope you're doing great! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Yeah I've been around but had a really bad tooth infection which was agony then just as i was getting rid of that I came down with a bad case of flu which knocked me for six.
But all better now and painting away.

Thats the thing with painting fabrics they always take a lot of time and concentration, both needed as it only takes one little slip and it looks wrong but you got them perfect.
I'm about 2 thirds of the way through my current painting, cant wait to get some work uploaded again lol
