Dec. Inspiration




Yesterday I was inspired by Zarana
She talked about using only 3 clors and one of them white to do a face. This is humerous if your thinking about me doing this as you know I have talked about it before and have never done it. I seem to have a mind that won't let things be, can't do simple beautiful. Zorana was still the inspiration for this painting and I thank her for it because I like it. The original has 4 colors, while, ochre, gray, blue. Oh yes the touch of oxide red. The Altered painting has the same colors except I layered digitally into the background some oriental fabric, only the red of the lips show in this version.

I'm loving this with just that pop of red on the lips.

I love that I inspired you to paint with a limited palette! Look how interesting she turned out to be! I had to tie my hands not to use a little bit of red on the lips and cheeks, so I understand why you did it. Love the digital play too!
