"A Moment in Time"
12" x 4" on gallery wrap canvas painted around
As I said the other day...the background was inspired by the beautiful ocean views you get in San Diego...the blue of the sky...the wonderful yellowy color as the sun sets...the rich browns of the beaches...it's just so beautiful there...AND, since this is Alisa...and she lives there...what better background for this could there be!
I could have painted the figure in oil, but decided to go with acrylic as I wanted it to be more stylized than painterly (though I KNOW all you acrylic painters out there; myself included; will tell me that you can get painterly strokes with acrylic too...but why fight it...ha...I agree...but acrylic just seemed to speak to me!) I was going for the edges and simplicity!
I still have more figures inside of me...maybe even another of Alisa...I have a great foreshortening shot of her sitting...it will have a more modern feel just due to the pose and the clothes...FUN!...but I also want to do my kids in some way...cuz I just want to...:)
I have a quick little commission of mums to do next and then on to another figure or two...or three...we shall see!
HAPPY CREATING!
