Description I... really like this painting. It's somewhat more raw than I'd have liked, in terms of the physical painting technique, but oh man it is so much better than most of what proceeded it. I am learning!!

I pulled an all-nighter to get this done on time, for great justice.

Oil on 9"x15" gessoed masonite. Sketch here .

She is beautiful!!! I vote not horror this time.
I am sad that there are no magpies in Japan.

Recently I'm trying to get better at art!

Indeed it is a really good painting, I like how the warmness of the orange background contrasts with the almost totally greyness of the rest of the painting

Interesting composition--I like the lines of the rock, of her horizontal body, of the cloth that continues the curve of the rock. The magpies are placed well for balance.

Thank you! It's actually supposed to be a bed she's laying on, but I already knew I needed to work on the drapery there xD.

Thank you! It's so important to me to keep my perspective - as much as I might love each painting I do, I know I need to always work harder and better to grow beyond it.
