Close ups
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Connie was the super host this week who provided a bunch of great photos!
Loved the intense gaze of the lioness. The big cats are fascinating.
This is oil on a 5x7 canvas panel. I pushed myself to take a more colorist approach on this one, and I really enjoyed it. I'm fairly happy with the result.
C&C welcome. Thanks for stopping in and commenting!
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
You have so much light in that blue, Dean! Don't know how you do it. She is a beautiful lioness indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherry....That blue is ultra blue acrylic thinned and applied on a white canvas panel. I liked the look so much, I left it as unsullied background.
DeleteLove how you splashed those colors on the Lioness! Wonderful work, Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hilda! I'm going to try this on some future paintings.
ReplyDeleteLots of energy - not only in the color but the active surface created with your brushwork. I really like this one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie!
DeleteI'm enjoying watching your discoveries with the Yupo paper.
Well, she is just gorgeous...I love the way you allowed color to bounce upon her--it is a wonderful effect. You are the best painter of animals!!
