Not for Sale

 

Wickaninnish

"Having no one in front of him in the canoe"
 

14x14". Oil on paper/panel.  I'm trying to learn how to paint portraits.  And, it felt safer to paint some one that no one knew.  Getting the likeness down is one thing, try to capture the soul is another.

From a photo off of a historical-archives site. There's a lot going on here with color, shadow, detail.  Sometimes, I got mad at it and said, "Dang, anything else?"

A.Renoir - 1876

Felt the need to get pure impressionism out of my system.  I figured that since Renoir's primary color palette is distinctly different from mine (he used a blue filter, and I use a yellow), that it would force me out of my comfort zone. Mission accomplished.
