     This is the first in my series on women.  Figurative women. Women who have something to say, some emotion that they are showing.  I am not sure how many women I will paint.  I have this voice in my heart that is telling me to do these paintings.  It speaks to me every day, all day!  I will give in to that voice.

     So here I start with "Waiting".  Why?  Because all females have experienced the "Waiting".  Waiting for a husband or boyfriend to finally put down his cell phone.  Or "Waiting" for a lover to ring the doorbell.  Or maybe she just "Waiting" for her Uber ride to bring her to the ballet.               

     It's whatever you want, whatever you see when you look at her.  For all those times you too have stood, dressed in your best,    "Waiting".

I came across the art work of Lipchitz in 2018.  I have been literally in awe of this particular painting and finally put paint on canvas.  I know that I will do more of Lipchitz's paintings.  The background is my own creation.

Summer 2010:  Tucson, Arizona -  a beautiful area in the southwestern part of the United States.  Hot, dry heat that is a haven for cactus plants that grow taller than many people! The sun is intense in Tucson!  A true delight to a painter’s eye.  Sunset is a time of vibrant colors and textures.  Here we find the raw unadulterated beauty of God's magnificant hand.  For me, it conjures up memories of the wild west movies I watched as a child, and John Wayne.  And perhaps for some, its beauty stirs us to become introspective, activating a new love for our land, and perhaps allows us a new beginning.  Enjoy.

The painting is placed next to standard size flower vases on my fireplace mantel so that you can visualize the actual size.

Emily - The Dancing Queen

Progression Steps of Portrait in Oils - Step Three

Step Three brings me very very close to finishing up this beautiful dancing queen!  I finished up the tutu, the floor and added some tossed rose petals.  

But Step Three leaves me feeling I still have a lot more to work on. Emily's face and hair needs more detail.  Certain areas need shading.  

I am pleased so far with the progress with the art piece.

Emily - The Dancing Queen

Progression Steps of Portrait in Oils - Step Two

1.  Just added more paint color and more detail.  Worked on Emily's face a little bit . . . but for some reason a little hesitatant - guess maybe because her head is titled up and not looking straight on.   Still painting 'lean'.  

2.  Put down the first 'lean' painting of the dance floor. More paint and design needed here.

Lots more still to do.  But enjoying this painting of my youngest granddaughter and am happy with the results so far. 

[Dancers sometimes wear only one shoe so that they can spin - reason for the one shoe].

Emily - The Dancing Queen

Progression Steps of Portrait in Oils - Step One

1.  I painted the entire board and sides in Ivory Black Grumbacher's Acrylic paint - straight from the tube.  No mixing at all, and let it dry.

2.  I drew my picture of Emily with white conte pencil.

3.  I blocked in my colors with a very light touch.  This is called painting "lean".

Once this drys I will do another layer of paint until the colors are the way I want them.

(Parts of her are black because it it the underpainting and I have not yet painted those areas).

Baby MayLan

Portrait in Oils - Step Five and Finished!

I will be giving this portrait to May Lan's mom on Sunday, so I can't really post this until Monday afternoon!  

In Step Five and Finished I worked on details.  I finished up baby's eyes, hair, skin and added more shadow details to her dress.  I touched up the field of flowers a bit, too.  You many notice that the face contains a lot of detail and the rest of the painting is in an (unfocused) Impressionistic style.  Many artist use this technique to cause the viewer to focus on the most important part of the art work.  Such a cute baby!
