In honor of St Patty's day i wanted to do something in tribute for the holiday, plus it gave me a great excuse to paint red hair and freckles which i love Freckles are so much fun to paint
Happy St Patty's Day to everyone who celebrates it :)
Katerina!!!! that's so beautiful, you captured the Irish feel of it very well lol.
Know one knows this but i have panpipes just like that, and when i saw your artwork, i thought about doing some art reference photos playing those panpipes...like i don't know, some elf kinda guy lol, but i'm too chicken to do it i think :D lol
Oh wow Katerina, I'm truly blown away by 'memories' - what a stunning image, I just want to touch her amazing face! The atmosphere you create is so brilliant it leaves me speechless, and that's a rare thing indeed...
Hello Katerina, thank you for being part of the EF community, I know you have very kindly helped to spread the word to your dear friends and that is much appreciated. We really enjoy your wonderful contributions and gorgeous art, I especially love Fairy Eyes, they have such sparkle and her hair looks so soft! (Your beautiful long hair makes me nostalgic as our youngest son at nearly 17, has just had all his cut short, it was down to his waist having grown it for 8 years - he does look cute though and it's as curly as ours which was a surprise as it was really straight when he was young!!)
Big smiles,
Hi Sweetie:) Just wanted to stop by and say hello and see how you are doing:) I hope well:)I'm sorry I've been out of touch for a while, been busy with the holidays....and stressed too,lol. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving:)We had a great time at my sister's house. I was so stuffed and worn out from all the cooking,lol.But we loved it, and laughed and had a great time:) I hope to hear from you soon, miss you bunches!!
Aww thank you so much for your comment Kat :) You're so kind. I'm working on 3 new oil paintings at the moment! Yes, I work both wet on wet and in layers (if that makes sense) for each layer I work into the paint, layering wet on wet, then wait for that layer to dry before working over it, making the colours more rich and the form more defined. I tend to go off and work on another painting while waiting for the layers to dry, so the drying time isn't much of a problem for me. *Hugs*
I can't wait to see which fairy tale you do next.
