Woodland Nymph?



I was going to replace previous pix with thes taken outdoors. (Sorry about the shadows!)But thought Id just share the real colors I was experimenting with. Didn't mean to turn Jordan into a wood nymph, but she is still lovely in blue.

I need more sleep. When I read this the first time, I thought that you drew Jordan outdoors. Got me to thinking how long it's been since I was in an outdoor drawing group. Then of course i re-read it and realized what you really said. Okay I'm done babbling... Lovely work Doris. Again you've captured what I see as the soul of your model. It touches something in me that goes beyond shadows and shapes.

I've been away from your blog for a while I need to make it a regular habit.

I love the skin tones Doris and I particularly love that foot sticking out under her bottom :)

Doris said...

Thanks Bob and Uta! I didn't capture her likeness well, but was into my "blues blending."

Always you capture the essence and spirit of the model. Yes, when you said wood nymph I looked at what she was sitting on and imagined a tree stump! I love the shadows, they draw my eye into the subject. Orange orange, I see that color everywhere. A good sign! The poses are each unique, never boring!

Uta, I saw that foot too, but my thoughts were different. I did a similar pose last week for a class. Didn't realize my foot fell alseep. I stood up after the pose and went down like a ton of bricks. A job hazard I suppose.

As always, beautifully captured! Oh and thank you for your continued wisdom in your comments to my posts.
