Pale Ladies
Two more small canvases, this time for the
Eyebrows challenge at Inspiration Avenue.
I was hoping the pale faces and dark backgrounds
would emphasize their eyebrows.
I had fun painting these 2 ladies. I had to stop myself
from fiddling with them too much, trying to make them perfect.
The more I tweaked them, the more I saw
their personalities begin to fade away.
A great reason to stop and call them done!
Oh Magic Magpie, same is true in a garden design. STOP before it's ruined !!!
ReplyDeleteYour talent is a gift.

You did very well to stop, I love them like this, so very lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour ladies are beautiful. I do like the dark background as it brings out the pale complexions even better. It is hard to know just when to stop. I have ruined more than one watercolor by doing too much.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful eyebrows...mine used to be that dark
ReplyDeleteand expressive (at least I thought so at the time)
but now they are lighter
(and the rest of me heavier)
I think all of your little canvases are special and love-ly
(I was nosing below)
I am happy I stopped by...
you made me feel happy
and inspired
and taught me a very good lesson too
about tweaking
and personalities...so true
in painting and
in real life.
Happy Easter my friend...♥ ♥ ♥
So beautiful!!!!
