I did this nude on 12 x 9" mixed media paper and matted it to about 9 1/2 x 7 1/2". There's just nothing - to me, anyway - like the blues and greens in skin tones. I just find them irresistible. This piece is a little "raw", just the way I like them - not quite "finished". I took a portrait course in which the portrait I painted is so exact and finished (although I didn't attend the last lesson) and everyone who sees it says 'wow, you did this?" and while I like it and am proud of my accomplishment, it's not my natural way of doing things. Just my personality, I guess. I love it that each artist's personality always shows up in his/her work. Thanks so much for stopping by!
