This is another Flying Moleskins contribution for that very talented artist, Liz Holm. I worked from a photo that I took in Baden Baden, Germany at the Museum Frieder Burda. We visited the Durer, Tizian, Velazquez exhibit and really enjoyed seeing a few paintings from these famous artists up close. I was quite taken with this exhibit room, which was filled with huge tapestries and had a great floor.

The whole piece is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe light reflecting under the bench is even more perfect.
The suggestion of the textures is fantastic.
lovely, Vern
Wow, amazing painting!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this painting!! Liz must be very happy to have it.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great textured wood floor, it really make the whole piece flow so nicely. I just love how you captured in your painting their casual conversation. Wonderful friendship piece for Liz
ReplyDeleteI made comments on the Flying Moleskins blog but its worth mentioning it again how wonderful this piece is. The composition, the subdued colors, the detail work on the floor and the book.... fantastic Vern!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Vern, my jaw dropped when I saw this. Absolutely gorgeous. I love it--the subject, the colors, the unique composition, the brushwork and adeptly-done textures. Brilliant work. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOnce again Vern, you really hit the nail on the head with this one...it reminds me of KJ's work but with a very Vern approach.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fantastic job with this, Vern. Beautifully executed and a great composition.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant viewpoint, gorgeous warm colour, this is amazing, I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Vern!!
ReplyDeleteYour figures look very natural, loose and relaxed. It has a pleasant atmosphere by the way both of them are sitting on a bench facing one another. Nice piece Vern.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Wonderful viewpoint and diagonal elements. Great colors. I'm really impressed with the moleskin project, I wish I'd had time to pursue it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the perspective on this one, Vern! AND..I can hear those women discussing the catalog now. Nice painting!
ReplyDeleteNice job capturing the relaxed poses and the wooden floor...that would be challenge enough for me! That museum trip must have been awesome to see such great artists. I need to check the Moleskins blog!
