FEET


This week subject fitted quite well for me, and I found it rather funny, because I started with a new painting yesterday..."HANDS".......

But, I decided to let "the hands" wait, and participate in IF instead, so I started paint a new painting as soon as I came home this evening.

Here is my entry for FEET, oil on canvas, 38 x 61 cm, just finished.

Nice elegant flow to this, and soothing blues, very appealing.

You asked in your comment, what is the medium I used for this theme, with this and almost everthing in my blog, it's digital, Paint Shop Pro.

This is so graceful! I love the vulnerable look of the sole and the tones of blue you used. This is beautiful... what color are you using for your hands painting? You really work magic with the monochromatic palette.

Thank you all for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it!

Hardwax: Digital was the last thing that came to my mind!! It looked like canvas!! Very nice!!

Carla: My "hands" are blue as well, the same colour as in the feet, I use only 2 colours, Blue (azul)Goya and Titanium White.

I have also painted many more paintings using only blue colours in different shades, some of them I have published in my website, some of them I am saving for later...

Beautiful work. It has an innocence to it that is suggestive as well. A little "Eve in the garden" esque. Nice!

This is so beautiful. I really get the sense of walking though a moonlit garden, feet in the grass, everything turned to velvet.

this is absolutely gorgeous and i love the monochromatic palette you have used here. i have been very inspired by "fairies" and other fantasy art as of late, and this definitely reminds me of a fairy walking through a gorgeous garden. i love your work!

Nice painting, I like the moonlit evening lighting effect—no doubt influenced by the hour of the day you were working.

Thank you all for your comments! And thanks again!!
I dont think I will be participating in IF this week (monster), I spent so much time looking at all the great feet on IF last week and let some other things wait instead - so now I have tons of things to do.....
It was great to see all these nice pictures and all the imagination, there is so much creativity in the world!!
Have a nice week!

Such a sensual and lyrical painting, I love it, being a poet it's really easy for me to picture a poem for this piece.

The shapely buttocks of her feet
licks the soil of life
She search for love's beauty
galloping in the high atlas
of sensuality...
