Hi
She is finally finished.
She was originally intended for an open exhibition at a local gallery.
Unfortunately it was not ready in time which is a shame as opportunities to see your work
hanging in a gallery don't come along very often.
The title of the exhibition was 'Sparkling Spring' and they asked that the artwork
should reflect that with the use of metallic's, foils etc.
I used metallic acrylic's in the background and in the flowers on her dress
but the glimmer doesn't come across well in the photo.

I started with acrylic paint and then went on to use coloured pencil.
I normally frame my paintings in modern frames with a mount (matt) but for this I am
considering a gold ornate frame without a mount.
If I can find a suitable frame I will share her again in a future post.
Thank you to everyone who visited last week for Paint Party Friday.

Love you Klimt girl, and sorry you missed the gallery!Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love how the dress and background compliment each other! And of course your girl is beautiful! ♥♥♥ (I wonder if the gallery might still accept it, sometimes they don't get enough entries......just thinking out loud.)
ReplyDeleteShe is a BEAUTY!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful indeed! Her eyes really say it all. A simple gold frame would set the painting off nicely.
ReplyDeleteShe is fabulous
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and delicate! I think she will glow in a gold frame. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteI think your lady turned out so well.

She's wonderful, the closeup shows all the colours you've used in her face which I really admire. She has a gentle character.
ReplyDeleteThe background is perfect and your plans for framing sound excellent. Cheers and Happy PPF :D)
Save her for another time! She is gorgeous! I love her blouse and her hair! Great face too... I LOVE this painting and it's a little different than your usual work!!

ReplyDeleteSorry about the exhibition, hopefully another opportunity comes along soon.
