Description Oil on Canvas.

One of my favorite pieces cause I made her up from another 2 drawings I had and myself as a shadow model. Sadly enough I had to sell it cause I need it the money, I felt so sad when I let it go but happy that I had a great scan of it (curtesy of the big ass scanner I had at work).

I love blue can you tell?

this use to go with a frase that read:

The night was long and the soul dressed up of Melancoly.

Beautiful! I know how hard it is to work in oils and this is absolutely gorgeously done. The colors are so rich and I just love what the monochrome does for the mood. Rendering of the face is really delicate and i like the contrast between that style and how you did the background. Very nice.

Wow - wish I could paint. What a wonderful talent to have.
I love this painting. The Blue hue just epitomises the sadness of the piece. Beautiful but haunting.
Congratulations

Oh - by the way - I hear you like castle's - have a look at my 2 pics of Dunnottar castle -- It's one of my favourite places on the planet

I'm off to have a look at the rest of your gallery now
