Celestre - sold

9"x12" oil on linen mounted on hard board (Raymar)

I had not painted the human face in such a long while. So I decided to get back into practice again. Skin tones, shapes, measuring distances - you do get rusty at anything when you don't get around to it - just like playing a musical instrument. You remember the 'gist' of it, but the finesse leaves and the hands are clumsy. (that is the artist's hands!). I'm going to make the effort to fit these in between landscapes now & then! It is very fun though - especially at the point when that other 'person' is looking back at you!
