Babe

I wanted to paint Renee today.

this is from a photograph I've had since high school.

I worked in Zorn palette. It was tempting to use

blue, but didn't. I'll tweek some things, but this is pretty much it.

8"x 8" oils on gesso'd board. 3 hrs.

Celeste Bergin said...: so pretty! I understand Zorn used black and white to achieve a blue like color. This is a beautiful tribute to your "babe".; October 23, 2010 at 11:40 AM

I'm working on understanding color, the Zorn palette is very helpful!
I will paint from photos, as I have them, and
can redisign them to something different.
Stapleton Kearns has been posting some rather interesting stuff on this matter.
