Today I went to my Sunday sketch class, where we had an incredible model whose body was a cross between the Venus de Milo and the ancient Venus of Willendorf. It's funny how by today's standards, no one would consider this ample, voluptuous woman beautiful, but in a different time she would have been a goddess. Anyway, for some reason, my efforts at sketching her just got worse with each pose, so I don't have anything worth posting, although I wish I did, because her curves were amazing. Instead, I am posting a still life that I did a while ago, which I have always liked. The complementary colors really pop.
On another note, I am putting a freeze on my feed to the Daily Painters site for the next three weeks. With several projects to work on, and some travel plans, doing a daily just won't happen with any frequency. I will update my site with WIP instead, as things progress.

Rhonda,

I love this painting! I found my way to your blog through a link on Hall Groat's blog and I found him through Lines and Colors...such is the norm on the bloggers journey. Ayway I'm glad I found you. This is a great painting. I also liked "Sailing" quite a lot.
Beautiful. I too, love the compliments of orange and blue together.
Came here through Virginia Vaughan's site.
