Guitar Player

I've been working fairly small for quite a while, so I decided to paint something big.  I totally enjoyed painting this one.



"Acoustic"
27.5" x 19.5"
Soft Pastel on Pastelmat

    Love it Kari, I get a real sense of his being absorbed in his music.

    Great work, Kari! I can tell by the comfortable body language that this is a real guitar player and not just a model. Love the way he's relaxing into it. Wonderful job on the figure and the composition as a whole!

    Kerri, are you liking the pastelmat better? You works really sing on this surface.

    beautiful work of art...

    as gwen bell said, the model seems to be a real artist, just as the painting proved you to be a great artist...

    this is classic...
    congrats
