Artist's Comments

40 x 50 cm oil on canvas, please see the full view.
About 3 hours of work.

I have been working so much lately on my regular job. It means lots to read, to write and scheduling. The switch to the image of painting isnt so easy then. This afternoon I forced myself with a picture for reference of Roos (ofcourse), with lots of fun and colour in it.

It is a scene from summer where she pulled out her sweater and tried to hide behind/under it. One moment she lifted the sweater from her sweet face and there I could catch her! I used the picture for reference and left out what I didnt want to use. Working with those thick brushes, thick paint and Roosy's smile made me feel happy today.

Hope you like it, thanks for watching!

Nancy :)

I LOVE the blue, very vibrant! It felt like a cool wether picture to me though only because of the blue you used in her mouth. It's very cold and snowy here anyway so the picture is seasonally perfect hahaha. Very nice and well done, I'm glad it made you feel happy.
