Don't confuse worry for wonder. Worry is compulsively thinking about what might be. Wonder is the awe of what just is.
Ah the English language is a funny old thing. Maybe you have been wondering where I have been lately, since my presence has been a bit scarce on Steemit. I've been busy busy busy with finishing off artwork and preparing for my exhibition. But, I'm going to make you wait for the next post for more information. In the meantime, you can wonder some more. =)
"Wonder", Leo Plaw, 24 x 30cm, oil on canvas

This is a great painting!
His eyes cannot take all that light. People sometimes cannot bear the magic in their lives, they close their eyes because they can't deal with greatness.
I wish you all the best with your exhibition!! :D

As a matter of fact - I was wondering what is up with you. Getting ready for a show explains it all. But I will keep wondering what the big reveal in your next post will be. :)

That is a magnificent Figure Painting. It is surely a thing of "wonder" to see this wondrous work. It releases me from my "worries" ... :D

This is breathtaking. What a beautiful idea. Oil is always a tricky medium, but you've got such a great grip on the strokes.

Thank you Aymen! In the beginning oils seem to be rather formidable and unforgiving. But if you're patient the versatility and magic of oils are worth the effort of understand them.
Oils are the Rolls Royce of painting... big fat and luxurious. =)

Oil does seem formidable and unforgiving. I've always found watercolor to be more "mine" than oil. But the beauty that oil captures, and the depth - its uncanny. And you've done a beautiful job x

I like your style. Been trying to learn the neutrality variations of good skin tone, but haven't been able to so well. Also good use of bleeding affects in the background.

Cheers Stefan! Search for "painting limited palette". Another tip, is working with earth colours, these will give you the "neutral" colours you are looking for. As for the effects in the background, play! experiment! =)

there comes the time when most people left, and we all sit on the porch and have a good time. That's when the 'job' ends and the fun begins. Hang out with Anni, and you won't be getting home before 4 AM, lol
