| Storm Goddess on Silk |
I've been doing a lot of figure work lately, and had begun moving towards more representational work as opposed to the very abstract pieces that I started with. This one is a move back towards my abstract pieces, drawing on inspiration from nature and movement - she's a storm goddess, whether conjured up by a storm or creating the wind, I will leave it to the viewer to decide. I used 7 different washes of blue for the figure and a range of greys, greens, browns and water to paint the background. The leaves blowing by introduce just a hint of color. I'm in a tumultuous place spiritually right now, and the intense weather that so many of us have been seeing recently really lent the inspiration for this piece. I can't wait to steam set and iron this one to see how she turns out.
HEllo!
ReplyDeleteWill you show us when it is finish?
Have you ever done scarfs?
I'll take a picture once it's steam set. I do lots of scarves - mostly shibori and brush painted silk, but some with serti technique paintings. I had a series that I was really proud of that were brush painted with fine line detail, but I've sold all but two of those.
