Amazing depth of color and texture, and what a different choice of subject.

Photo ref. from a photo I took of one of the corner places in my house.

One time when I was 17 I got a job as a plumbers apprentice, and we drove to Medicine Bow Wyoming to do a job there for two weeks. My boss's name was Frank Early. He Drank every night and was an asshole in the morning because he always had a hangover. One morning he told me to get him some kind of wrench (probably a spanner) and I didnt hear him very well, but I didnt want to ask what kind because he had a hangover and he was in a pissy mood. So I took a guess and grabbed the wrong one and he said "God Damn it! ya act like ya just came in off a fuckin load of hay!" So I threw my shovel down and said "fuck you Frank" and I walked back to the motel and got my suitcase and walked out to the highway and hitched all the way back to Cheyenne. On the way while I was walking on the highway (I had to walk all day untill it got dark before I got a ride) I found a bottle of vodka in the ditch, so I stuck it in my bag. When I got to Cheyenne, I drank most of it and woke up on my friends back porch with my long hair glued to the cement by my puke, flies buzzing around, dehydrated, sick and weak, sun beating down on me. Thought I was going to die.

I have two antique vanities, but the mirrors are both square. I love them, and I like this picture very much. I hope you washed your hair after that.

Anna (edited Oct 23, 2005)

I love the tones in this. Nice and warm. Lovely work, as always, Dan :-)

showcase please.

terracotta (Dec 28, 2005)

Very beautiful. The colours are so lovely and her expression is compelling--I get a sense of worry or indecision. The only thing I might suggest working on is the dark shadow above her eyelid--if you could soften the edge of that to give the impression of a smoother increase in the roundness of the bone structure just below the eyebrow.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)

pretty

dorothyblueeyes (Apr 2, 2010)

I agree,it's so good it should be on the showcase

safescene (Dec 23, 2005)

This is nice. It's really abstract and simple and just plain good and I want to drink some wine now.

lol..thanks :)

terracotta (edited Dec 27, 2005)

Oooo. I love the way you've mixed the desaturated tones of the hat and her skin with the supersaturated colours of her lips, her kimono and the background. The hat is *ahem* well, dammit, amazing. Love the tension in the chin strap/skin and the way you've just managed to hide her eyes from the viewer...so we're always trying to peer up under the edge of the hat. Critiques? Hmmm. That gorgeous bouncelight underneath her chin makes me wish there was a tiny bit of shine on the skin of her cheek. But's that nitpicking. I love this.

comd (Mar 19, 2006)

It's insane how much subtle texture is in the skin here. I can't begin to imagine how to do this with lascaux sketch, and it'd still be incredible regardless of the medium.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)

very pretty

Tonight we have a succulent center cut prime envy covered in a light jealousy sauce served with a glass of our finest imported inspiration.

the face is madd. i just like the general softness of this :) +10000

terracotta (Jan 28, 2006)

It's so effective to leave the hair and dress less detailed. One of my favourite painting styles--a mixture of impressionism and realism. When it works, as this does, I think there is no painting style more beautiful. Looking at these purples and orange/golds together is a sensory treat.

pretty colors and blending

Yes, please, size 7 !/2. And, do they come in RED? Those patten leather highlights and the way you've done the floor make me giddy.
