WALKING AND TALKING


6x6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord

This man was on his cell phone, absorbed in an intense conversation.  I loved his clothes, especially his hat.  It was a bright day and everything caught the light.  So I schlepped after him in my best covert way, which wasn't easy with my camera hung over a bright teal jacket and cap on my head.  Game on!  I got several good photos and chose the easiest to paint (I am unbelievably rusty! ...... OK I'm a wimp)  I hope to re-visit these photos and paint him again.  Little did he know that he was such an interesting subject!

  4. The light depicted on his jacket is nicely depicted. I like how you've blurred the trees in the background, and the negative spaces have interesting shapes. Your story is so funny, Linda!

  10. Lol Linda! I love hearing stories like yours. My college age kids think I'm nuts when they see I'm intent on getting a good shot of something they think is ordinary. When they see the finished product then they understand. Your passion for art is very evident in this piece. The lighting is marvelous.
