Hi Ahavah and welcome here!

I like the way you use the oils and colors.
Looks that it's the first layer and I look forward to seeing the next update.
What's the real size of it?

Welcome Ahavah!

Very interesting style! Well done!

[Helz]

Hi Ahavah, like it!! And welcome, looks like you got it right to me!

Welcome to our world.

Love this painting. . Fabulous tones (I'm very jealous). I imagine you have painted and then scraped back to the underpainting, am I right?
Although an abstract the tones and style remind me of a 15th century fresco, due to the aged look. Again, (He says fawning) fabulous piece, hope to see more.

I realy like it HI by the way, I find the painting unsettling somehow, was this intentional? unsettling in a good way I mean, it makes me shudder.

Deco; Thank you for the welcome--you have a very nice site that I've spent the better part of the last few days familiarizing myself with.

I also appreciate the comments on the painting. No, actually this is the final version. If I remember correctly, she's about 14 x 11. She's somewhere on what used to be my formal dining table with about 200 + other pieces done on various papers or canvas pads.

Neo; Thank you for the welcome and kind comment.
.

Helz; Thank you as well, for the warm welcome and lovely comment.
.

graemek; Thank you muchly for the welcome. I could reassure your jealousy...but I'm not certain I really want to. I have scraped before but not on this one. This was pure application. I like the Fresco look very much; thank you for the comparison. You're from my ancestral homeland, e. g. - The Isle of Skye.

Again, thank you for your time and words; much appreciated.
.

Hawkwood; Hi back; and thanks for the nice words. I think people see a reflection of themselves in paintings despite the artist's intent. I'm glad it triggered an emotional reaction within you.
.

Again, thank you all for the warm welcome and sharing your time with Art.

Is it just me...........or is there a man, a dog, and a building on the horizon?

I see the man. The dog, I see a deer couchant but I do see a building looking like a castle or an abbey. I need to steer clear of the absinthe.

No jokes about over the sea to Skye. Spent many a good holiday there, painting the Cuillins, Storr, Kilt rock etc and not forgetting having to drive from Staffin to Broadford AND BACK (Look it up on a map. It'll scare you the distance one will go to relieve an addiction)for a packet of cigarettes due to it being a Sunday and the whole place shutting down. Wouldn't change a thing.

Spooky painting. but I like it and a late welcome from me.
sorry this is off topic.....I have driven from Avemoore to the Isle of Sky and back in a day. didn't get to see much of teh island tho. I bought the most beautiful silver jewlley on the island, tried to get by partner at teh time to buy it. no luck so I went in an bought it myself. X

Peter; It's not just you.

graemek; absinthe the art doth make.

No jokes about Skye (scout's honor). It's mah heritage. Saunders (which somehow transmuted to Sanders as well in modern times) is the sirname dating back to the early 1700's. Though as of last night (early this morning) we got back further (we've only been doing this two years). We actually found a Jewish family trees containing both Saunders and Sanders. Here's to another two years to sort that all out. Where IS that absinthe?!

Aye! That's why I quit smoking 7 years ago.

Alex; Thanks for commenting. Ah...women and jewelry! When all else fails, depend on yourself.

Again, thanks to you all for sharing your time and words. Muchly appreciated.
