VALUE STUDY

6x6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord

This was painted from a photograph I took in an old cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. There were so many interesting grave stones. Some were very large as this one. In addition to being tall it was elaborate with sculpture that was a testament to a very affluent family. This detail is nice for a value study. AND, just for fun .........

  1. Really like the sculptural quality, Linda, and all the "color" you capture in your value study!

  8. This is beautiful. One of my favorite things to paint is old statues! Wish we could go out and paint some together, wouldn't that be fun,

  9. reminds me of an fantastic A 'weeping angel' grave marker in an old cemetery here. I've always wanted to paint it but haven't figured out how to do it justice compositionally.
    Great study.
