I’m guessing by now you’ve realized that I love painting girls. While most of my girls are whimsical, I’ve been wanting to experiment a bit more with form and abstraction. This is one of my first few attempts.
I’ve deliberately left some of her features undefined, but she’s not yet as abstract as I would like.
It feels like a risk to make her disappear some more…
to blur the lines between her and the landscape in which I’ve placed her. But, I need to remember that it’s just paper and paint. If I push too far or don’t like what I create, I can always start over.
Quite a simile for life too, don’t you think? Moving out of our comfort zones can be hard, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. Plus, life always gives you a chance to course correct, or even to do things over. Yet, we are sometimes so hesitant to even try!

It looks to me like she’s standing near a bridge, or a harbor, maybe waiting for a ship to take her away somewhere. Mixed emotions, having to leave where she is, yet eager to be where she’s going. 🙂
Ooh, I love this interpretation! Thank you. 🙂
That looks like a quizzical expression. I love how you experiment with hair colour :-).
Thanks! Although these days I feel like I’m choosing “safe” options when I use blue, purple or red for hair. I think I need to experiment with something more radical now! 😀
And when we try, we always get the results :)) positive.
Beautiful pictyre
That is what I can say for all drawings
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re liking them. 🙂
You are incredibly talented! Love the use of colours!
Thank you!!
