new big painting to share....

Hello!

Back with another painting... This one going down a slightly different path than my portraiture. I don't feel we captured the subtlety of it in the photograph -- the painting is so large that we had a difficult time lighting it in my studio, so we may have to have another go and take the photos outside at night. Maybe I am just paranoid, however.....

It is tentatively titled "Hangup", and is part of a series I am working on involving relational complexities. While I am painting these larger pieces (this one is six feet long), I am also doing little paintings to loosen up.

Enjoy!

I am not sure I understand it; but it is surely executed well. You are a skilled painter for sure.

I really enjoy hearing other people come up with titles and explanations.

Great painting, Charis. Whistler is my hero when it comes to painting names. He thought of painting as visual music and used words like "Arrangement" or "Nocturne" in his titles. "Whistler's Mother" is actually entitled "Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1." I think that's perfect.

I love the sheer fabric work. That and the feet.

Are the "sharpening" lines from the photo of the painting, or did you paint them into the painting?

David, I'm sorry it took me so long to answer -- we've been in Santa Fe for the past week. Are you referring to the glow around the female figure? That much is intentional.

We try not to introduce too many photoshop artifacts, however, since we had some difficulty with the photos on this one, there's a possibility it is a little over-sharpened.
