Final



I think I'm done on the painting of Robin V. I'll look at it a while and see if it passes muster. Thank you all for your feedback...love to hear your thoughts. Detail of hands shown along with full art. 24x30

Wow Martin-absolutely fantastic! You've taken some of the more difficult aspects of drawing/painting-(foreshortening of a figure, the head at an extreme angle and rendering hands) and combined them all masterfully in one painting.

This is a winner! Beautifully done hands...there is a soft energy here that is just wonderful!

Martin Pate said...

Thank you Steve and Karen...I value both of your opinions. Karen, your description, "soft energy" may lead me to a title. I've often used "quiet power" to describe dancers.

Beautiful and peaceful! I love the focus on the hands and the ethereal quality you captured with the fabric of her dress.
