you captured her personality. her look goes straight out of the painting to the onlooker. 
I will purchase a print of this as soon as I can.

Ooohhh, I can't wait! My imagination and curiosity are now more excited than an archaeologist in front of the Voynich manuscript!

Hahaha, the last words I wrote (and deleted) today were about my wanting to be an archaeologist as a kid .... How I got where I am now.......... etc etc

People are going wild for this next piece.  I've never gotten so much of a response from my in progress photos (which I don't share on DA, too spammy, haha ) O: O: O:  A face, water, color, luminosityyyyyy, musiccccccc.... Hope to finish soon!

Seriously, you've been getting increasingly better in your visual work - the technique part, because I infinitely dig the concepts from the very beginning.

Oh goodness....
Well, when you see this next piece.....!!!! (which is the reason I'm delayed in responses this year!!!!)
I keep wanting to share sneak peeks ... but I want it to surprise everyone when I share the progress photos all at once alongside the final product.  I'm undertaking one of the most challenging portraits yet (as my fourth painted portrait in a lifetime!!!)~
I feel bad because this was going to be a series, but my dear Nina here looks so simple against the ethereal nature of .... said next piece. ... ... >...... ... >.............. U: *zipslipsthrowskey*

WilliamDallwitz In reply to Mivala [2014-01-03 17:15:36 +0000 UTC]

I dunno why, but some very strange and utterly terrifying thoughts came to mind about the subject matter of thine most anticipated coming painting... at first I thought it might be Salvador or Gala, but I don't feel it has anything to do with that.


... ... ... ... ... ... ... and now I fear the worst!


But I'm sure that, whatever the subject, the process and result are going to be amazing. I can't wait to see!

You won't be able to guess, haha it's another incredible female vocal, who very recently was arrested for tax evasion of some sort, if I'm not mistaken. I how to finish soon because my winter break is near an end....!!! I'm at afriend's fiesta right now on mine mobile device and would like nothing more than to carry on with it right now!!!!!

tax evasion, eh? that sound a bit greek, now, doesn't it?


but i shan't utilize my interrogation skills any further, for i fear it might have a deadly result on thine masterful creativity. 'tis better at that to see the soleil en fin rather than get burned like an icarus high on meth

Urghhh, just simple details are holding me back right now.  Both my Nina portrait and this new one are going to be in a show next month ~ I've been so very very busy, my friend!  I just got back from a wonderful business conference and I'm even more inspired about the world and I've started more paintings ... big paintings.... near gargantuan paintings.....  and I have shows..... and work, and school!  My goodness, if I could just finish this one piece..........

it's funny how so many people would have literally burnt themselves up were they in your shoes but you don't only find yourself comfortable in these states of quite agile activity but also discover bliss and happiness on the way, most incredibly unique this is.

I love how you rendered the face using basically primary colors, black, and white.

Mivala In reply to Pinebark [2013-12-29 18:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.   The primary paints I have are so wonderfully and richly pigmented that I don't often find the need to mix them.

Whoa! I love how you gave her a rainbow of color in her face! The cool colors seem to be the shading while the warmer colors are the highlights. Was there any symbolism behind that or did you just think of it as a cool effect? I like how you made most of the hair and clothes a deep black so the rest of her pops out more . Great job !

Mivala In reply to AnonTheDarkOne [2013-12-29 18:31:02 +0000 UTC]

It was admittedly, a lot of happy accidents.   The paints I have a really pigmented and I don't much like using blues in my work, so whenever I can avoid mixing blue or green, I'm content.  I'm much more comfortable working with warm hues!  But certainly, if you gather any symbolism, it probably is there!

Muchas gracias!
