Brand Spankin' New
Hello all. I am happy to say I have completed my largest painting yet. And while not that large in comparison to some really large realist paintings, this is big for me. It is 36" x 22" and I have plans to just keep painting larger. My posts will probably remain infrequent for some time to come as I finish up some portrait work, of which I plan to paint large :P Anyway, this is a painting of my friend and model Marisa who I have painted a bazillion times already. But according to her she has retired, if you will, from modeling. That or taking an extended break so she can find a big girl job. So I will not be painting her again for quite some time. I kind of liked this particular pose in evoking an emotional response in lieu of her leaving the modeling field. This is my homage to a muse. Enjoy! All criticism welcome and appreciated.

This is beautiful, and a great large portrait! I'm sorry your muse is leaving the field, I enjoy the painting of here you gave me. The only criticism I have is that her left thigh is flattening out a bit for me at the bottom. From the waist up, it looks amazing! Maybe exaggerate the hip to give a bit more shape? Keep up the great work!
