Slow Down and Look

I am a full-time artist working at home in Stonehaven, N.E. Scotland: selling work as a painter, writer and maker both online and through local exhibitions.

I am trained but prefer to remain UNTAMED, Unframed, Unconstrained and Unconventional. Here you will see art in progress: you can buy my finished paintings etc through the gallery link on the right ~ Bern Ross

Reclining Lady

 At last I can get to my easel - just. Clambering over boxes and canvases that have been misplaced and brought back from exhibitions here there and everywhere. I'm pleased to have my babies back and pleased to have found good homes for the ones that were bought.
The model for this reclining lady loved the painting before her outline even arrived on it!  This isn't quite finished: I'm not happy with the line of her hips.But I do love the marks around her hairline and want to achieve this elsewhere on the painting.

By the way, it is created in oils on an acrylic background and the best effect was achieved when painting with my fingers. Must get back to it...
