That was hard to keep up with but fun! I actually have a plan for something to do with all my ACEO's from this but i don't want to mention it yet in case i can't quite work it out.
Here's my entry to the butterfly effect for "the wild side". Not sure if i show my wild side much but the ladies i paint do, they are free and happy and don't care much for conventional rules and restraints.
I did this with another challenge in mind too, at inpiration avenue the theme is Bottecelli's primavera. I seem to be drawn to the nymph, Chlora, or the goddess of flowers. you should go there and check out the painting. I started this months ago then put it away and just finished it this week. I had meant to have flowers coming out of her mouth but when i got this far it didn't seem to fit anymore.
She also reminds me of paintings i just loved by kit williams... i can't find the exact one but i think my favorite was one with bees coming out of her mouth...
I had all his books and would stare at the art forever, studying how he did them, years ago. I just googled him to see what the name of that painting was and i found an interview where he said he was very influenced by botticelli, which makes sense now seeing both.
Very VERY Cool painting Andrea!! :D XXX
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Both of them. I can see the freedom of spirit in the first one. :)
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING work and I am very interested in studying the artist you mentioned as well. Thanks so much for the info and Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteShe does look so free.....and without a care....
ReplyDeleteThat's a great kind of wild abandon I wish I had more of :)

love how she walks on clouds with the earth in her body and the wind in her hair... wonderful
ReplyDeleteYou captured this so well - exactly what I was trying to do with many attempts - in the end I added digital on top of my painting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the leaves on her legs. She looks like a nature goddess - full of passion & magic.

I love the theme of falling ladies! Even though your springtime lady is falling, she is free-falling with grace, happiness, and perhaps confidence she'll land in a beautiful bed of flowers, and all will be well in her world. Pretty work and love the balance of delicate lines and colors <3
ReplyDeleteI love your wild woman! She's so carefree and looks like she is welcoming Springtime.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to Kit Williams. I love the example you posted. Makes me want to do a journal spread!! Now I am curious about the bees...will have to investigate his paintings.
I swear I am NEVER this late getting here, but I've been derailed at every turn since last Wednesday. Your springtime lady is really adorable. I always love your ladies.
