"Another Pretty Face" Oil on Canvas 36" x 24" A little background information on the painting.

in art •  8 years ago 

I was always struck by how beautiful Nena was.
Enough so that I bought a large canvas and decided to paint a portrait.
I was working out of town and carried this large canvas with me, taking up my after hours drawing her face.
Just crazy Ol' Flynn doing something other than watching wrestling after work.
It was an easy painting to do. It just seemed natural, and the colors appeared out of nowhere.
The hair just kinda happened.
The background was painted in one take.
I wish they were all that easy.

The hair defined how I would paint.
Large broad strokes, the brush loaded with paint.
The impression of fire and sunset.
A take no prisoners approach to art.

I recently saw the photo I took for this painting.
I'm impressed at how quickly and effortlessly she went from playing a video game to being a model.

Like I said, Natural.
