Meet Violet. She is the product of instant inspiration. Of course, she is inspired by none other than Mark Ryden. I don’t think I have the patience to render images the way Mark does. Looking at his work, I wonder just how long it takes him to create such impeccably painted images. Here is my attempt at taking a little more time in painting a face, and still finishing it in a day. I’ve also been wanting to leave more of the wood exposed in my pieces. Sometimes the grain is just so beautiful. That is why I often use special gloss varnishes, so you can see some of the grain through the color backgrounds on my other paintings. Have a Happy Friday everyone, and here’s to hoping my power come backs soon...
