This month I am participating in Following the Masters
Blog Challenge . (Click link to see other artisits work)
The Master painter for this challenge is Maxfield Parrish.
I have always loved Parrish. He does many Southwestern mountain and canyon scenes.
For this challenge I decided to try my interpetation of his painting "Ecstasy". There is alot of movement in the folds of the fabric.

After painting I digitally softened some of the hardlines and colors on my computer. I like the softer look on alot of my work for some reason.
Lovely work gemma! I especially like the softness too. Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteOooh, pretty! For the millionth time, I wish I could draw.
ReplyDeleteLooks like pastel...soft & pretty. Like the map too. Did you draw? I need to confirm but I think you friended my facebook profile. I am commenting from my writing blog but you may know me from my art blog too, and from Violette's. Have a creative day.
