Yeah, that's right. I've got attitude...
When I can't get the eyes and nose right I just find a magazine picture that fits and stick it on - so there!
She's really looking down her nose at me isn't she? Scoffing that I couldn't get her features in proper proportion. I don't think she's too happy that I forgot to paint her hair back in either - nor that I didn't pay much attention to style or even colour. Rather too much grey in it for her liking.
Stroppy little madam isn't she?
I like my paintings to have a bit of personality though - kind of companionable (if that doesn't sound too 'I talk to myself bonkers).
Thought I'd share this for Sunday Sketches together with this 'girl with a hat'. Both painted last weekend at the arty gathering in Felixstowe. The former also fits perfectly with Take a Word's 'Mask'. What lies beneath?

This is really cool - i love the attitude here!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Love the combination, so thrilling! <3
ReplyDeleteLove the attitude. I must be bonkers too, I'm always talking to myself... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good with some attitude! Think it's important!
ReplyDeleteHer nose looks quite bleedy, but it is a great expression you achieve with the combination of techniques!
Thank you for visiting my blog!

I love the word stroppy... a classic word and I am thinking I will be stroppy all day now... and blame you if anyone complains... I kind of like her attitude and love the solution of just bunging some features from a mag in the bit you can't get right... brilliant...xx
ReplyDeleteLove YOUR attitude! What a great idea using the photo..a very good way to also see where you strayed! Your second girl is also filled with her own attitude...very nice! An arty gathering?Sounds owdnerful...any near me here in frozen Long Beach NY?
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is some attitude she has there :) Love how you have combined them and it really looks like she had peeled back her mask and is showing her real face. Really powerful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome 'mask,' fascinating take on the theme!
ReplyDeletei love the girl with the attitude, and the one in the hat too. great job! I also checked out your watery landscape for PPF...excellent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on the theme, love it!
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous! And it's a great solution to just stick someone else's nose on the face. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing painting Lisa! I can't stop looking at it!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent paintings!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting of the girl with attitude reminiscent of Francis Bacon. Love the painting and her attitude, but I'd rather not meet her in a dark alley!
ReplyDeleteLike the blondie too, and your technique with the magazine parts.
The girl with attitude is ab fab! Amazingly lively and in-your-face. Love it.xx
ReplyDeleteoh what a wonderful post filled with attitude!!! love your girls Lisa!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriuging idea to use the magazine photo! Very clever.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the combination of paint and magazine cutout
ReplyDeleteGirl with an attitude - I like that! I'm always intrigued at the combo of art techniques you use. :) And I just LOVE your girl in the hat. VERY much so.
ReplyDeletethe first face kind of freaks me out but the second one is lovely.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by, have a sweet day.
Oooo, what a creepy cool effect that is sticking that image on there...heehee!
ReplyDeleteI like your girl with a hat, too....her mouth almost looks like you stuck a photo on it, it's so good!
Powerful image from an excellent idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've painted the textures! Bravo! :)
