Artist's Comments From Artist Blog 6/24/06
Oh, I can't express how much I like this little lady. I think I fell in love with this piece about half way through. Her pose is so relaxed and exudes confidence and stability with self. And there is a bit of sparkle in her eye daring you to cross her and see just how well she can handle the pressure. She even reminds me of a comic book superhero such as Witchblade, Aeon Flux or maybe even Storm.
The biggest problem I have is that I do not have a clue as to what to name her. It is a very common problem among artists and so I'm posting this and maybe you all can help with my naming process. I guess that is what the "interactive" is all about.
While painting her I struggled a bit with the feet. Initially I had more foot and leg showing below the crossing leg and it looked like a strange bit of flesh filling in the bottom. So like a good artist (if it doesn't work fix it) I went back in and completely eliminated the foot, at this point she looked as if she was floating in the air and she had reached the top and was banging her head against the boundary... Not so good. Then I decided to replace the foot, this time curved the toes giving the front foot more character and brought her back down to earth. This simple change made all the difference in the world on the success of this piece.
I think that I'm actually getting a little more comfortable working at this size. The slowness of the drying time is still frustrating at times but I find that working on another piece while waiting or just simply taking a break and looking at it has it's advantages as well.
