Dah dah..........its Paint Party Friday time again............Am still working in Modigliani mode with this picture. Painted with acrylics on heavy duty paper. Needless to say my husband loved this one.......hmmm I wonder why..........lol
Modigliani named this picture 'Seated Nude' |
If this be not perfection, Love would sigh,
Perfection is a great, black, thumping lie........
Endearments, kisses, grunts and whispered oaths;
But were her thoughts on breakfast, or on clothes?
The following piece is Work in Progress, Acrylics, Shimmer Spray on Canvas Paper.
In former days we'd both agree
That you were me, and I was you.
What has happened to us two,
That you are you, and I am me?
By Bhartrhari (5th Century)
These are the words I used as inspiration for this piece.
Am also busily trying to finish my end of term project which is proving interesting as it has to contain all the teachings from the classes into a painting.
Wishing you a terrific weekend, we have a bonfire/firework night planned with some of the grand kiddywinkles which should be fun. Take care of yourselves and hope to catch up with you all soon.
Hugs Annette xx

Oh my goodness, Nettie - what an extraordinary painting - absolutely Modigliani-style - and with such depth of intensity in the background and in her eyes. So powerful. The work in progress is already looking exciting too.

Haha, funny quote to go with that painting! I can imagine your husband likes it :-) I love your work in progress and the poem that was your inspiration is beautiful. Sounds like you had a lovely birthday-week, best wishes to you ♥
Another happy birthday from me too Annette. These two pieces are both wonderful and I love the verse you have put with each of them. The first one amused me and the second one I found rather wistful and I think you have captured that in your work in progress. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.
Hugs

Love your lady - working with so much dark in the background is very brave of you. Also love the quote from Robert Graves - it takes what is a fairly serious looking painting and gives it a humorous twist! (I love laughing!)
