Geisha


I bought these little geisha dolls some time ago and just love painting them. I enjoyed painting the blue violet fabric again minus the polka dots. I tried putting them in and the painting became too busy. I like detail, but I prefer limited detail.

Hi Linda, Stunning colors,oh that blue. The nice thing with oils is that you can paint over things you don't like. I think my watercolors get so overworked because i can't eliminate so i just keep adding. Oh and my lack of impulse control and my love of mesmerizing color!
What a great mix of colors. That lime green adds so much without dominating.
Re: your post My Blue Bottle. I know what you mean about a cleaner and more polished process. And you are right..it does come with time. I feel that I have been muddling along for quite awhile, and then sometimes it all comes together...I know what I want to say and HOW to say it. Whenever we challenge ourselves, and work towards a goal, it takes a lot of "muddling" to get where we want to be. But I think its worth it.

My husband brought back little dolls like these for my daughters when he traveled to Japan years ago. I hadn't thought of painting them.

Love this set up, Linda. I like the doll partly behind the glass. It does interesting things to the image. The umbrellas are a nice addition, too.

Lovely! You really captured the reflective glass in such simple strokes.
