Athena


Oil on Canvas with palette knives
18 X 24 "


Beauty, Strength, Power - A lethal combination. A woman who has these three combinations is lucky and can rule the world. However, such women suffer from a lot of pain. When you are at the top, you are always alone. But would you rather be average than the best? Would you dress yourself down just to be with them? Tough Call!

Facial

 
Oil on Canvas
12" X 15 "
 
Did this from a photo. I dare not say whose photo this was, lest I get a few brickbats! This took me about an hour using the Alla Prima Technique.
 
I got lots of browns on my palette. Only thing is to use that up. To do that I must paint more often. My house is so cluttered with the regulars of life these days, that art is fighting for space. Obviously, it will win as it always does. Incidentally, this is a brushwork. My knives must rest you see.
