Her True Colors


This is my work in progress. The background I painted awhile ago and finally saw what I wanted to do with it. I imagined it with lots more items around her, but now I'm not sure I want to add too much. I like her simple. Especially with all that's going on in the background. I'll try to finish her up and show you a better picture by next week (the colors don't show up as bright as they truly are).

Have a wonderful weekend!

    I love the simple face and the busy vibrant background - can't wait to see the end result. Isn't painting just the most fun anyone can have - how the whole world doesn't do art is a mystery to me!

    It's always fascinating to see an artist's work-in-progress and be able to follow along on the journey. It gives a different dimension to the audience. Thanks for sharing.

    This is intriguing....I almost don't want to see a face in there because it might take away from your gorgeous background! But, I'm sure you'll do a perfect face to go with it!
    Happy PPF,

    Isn't it frustrating when the colours don't show up properly and so glad you are showing a WIP so we can see more of how you get to the end product... have a great week...xx
