Waiting

Another pose.  Another painting.  I am ready to get back to figurative work as you can tell.  I hope it works to paint in different styles.  I know that it is not the best way to show a collection, but I do feel that working abstractly helps my figurative works a great deal.  Introspection is a big part of these latest works.  She's not sad, she's just waiting, and maybe taking a little break from the action. 

Two Poses

Two Poses is a painting that I completed recently.  I wanted to convey a mood of quiet introspection.  I am loving the watercolor crayons as a way to add some interesting line quality.  This painting is watercolor, but I am not a purist.  It has some watercolor white added.  I like the unexpected glow it seems to give.
