Saint No.52

MEDIUM: Oil paints on a canvas that is around 28" x 22".

MODEL: The other painting of Rikaco. You know, the girl from the little spackle picture. A handsome lass, is she not?

NOTES: If you look on the far easel on my gay-assed Desktop Picture you can get a blurry eyeful of this thing at an earlier stage. Not that far away from this one. But you can see that I hadn't yet started to join the tones of the background to the figure in the foreground. I adjust that relationship till the last stage of the painting process.

Has that thick texture that the other painting I posted has. But this is a bit more of an "image friendly" photograph. If you look at the bottom of this photo (this is a photo of my painting, NOT the painting. That's why I call this a "photo") you can see where the flash has bounced off the texture on her tummy. (I said tummy. Is that effeminate? Should I have said "torso"? Okay, even if "tummy" is kinda fey, I could have said "belly"... And that is inarguably kinda girly.) There are a few strange camera flash artifacts on this photo, like on the neck and the tummy (I mean torso), etc... And depending on you monitor, this photo may be slightly more red than the actual painting.
