I reworked her flesh a little and then took a photo in a darker room. Man the color sure is different. I need to go retake this in light!
Better. Can you tell what other changes I made? see below for answer :-)
Welcome to my blog where I post recent photos of my work and journal about my life as an artist. I live and work in Tulsa Oklahoma. It is from my early life in the mountains that I developed a love of the natural world which now includes vast prairies and endless skies. To contact me about a purchase all in lowercase letters you can write me at margee And then my last name @Gmail. Opening the web version of this blog gives the opportunity to purchase any of my how to books/videos, etc..

SOLD1 Red Haired Girl 20x24 oil
This began as a class demo. I started with several photos. a few of pretty girls and a few from our trip to the Wichita Mts. Like Frankenstein, I took a hand from one photo, a face from another, a pretty outfit from another and borrowed the hair from another photo. All combined into this painting of a lovely girl taking a walk through the woods. I think all little girls imagine how wonderful it would be to have very long hair. If we grow up to be artists, we realize our dreams through our painting.
She is on auction this week on ebay . To visit her on ebay click here
I took a little bit of hair off the top and left side. I took a tiny bit off the chin and added a little to the left side of the forehead and left cheek. I also brought a hint of blue further out to the left to suggest a portion of her dress. I feel better.
