Some painted Nightys

Post by bluefooted »

A few little bits of artwork. First, I corrected (sort of) and finished the sketch that I originally posted in the critique section - Thanks for the comments, guys! It looked much better before I colored it - sigh :( I used watered-down acrylics plus some touching up in photo editor. Eh, it's okay - here it is:

Had this hanging around so I thought I'd post it - might take a bit to load since they're large. Little explanation: I mostly paint in oils (trying) to use an impressionist style. It's really hard for me to keep all my brush strokes loose and 'impressionistic' so I do these little excercises where I just randomly paint a bunch of objects together and try to use the same style for all of them. Anyhoo, this one has Nighty in it (and my dog! :LOL). He's sort of sitting off by himself in the Gypsy/circus camp. Big painting so I couldn't fit it all on my scanner - no digital camera :cry Anyhoo, to make a long story short (Too Late!) here's the area containing Kurt:

and a close-up of Kurt (I didn't mean to make him look so sad!):

Thanks! I'm such a web idiot :LOL they're fixed now! Yeah, I think he's supposed to be movieverse, or maybe a combination of a bunch of different Nightys.

All the links work for me! These are awesome! I like the oil Nighty a lot, especially the entire style of it. I paint in water color, but I know a little about oils, and it isn't easy! Kudos to bluefooted! Nice work!

WHOO! The first is so emotional, it reminds me of that scene from the Disney version of Tarzan! *cuddles Kurt to make him feel better*

Confused on the second...is that the other circus folks, or are they burning his house down? Either way, he looks sad in this one too.

So sad, but in a beautiful, elegant way!! :bawl

I think they're sitting around a campfire, and he's on the outside being moody. I quess he doesn't feel like joining them, or doesn't feel welcome.

I really like these, bluefooted. You have managed to convey a lot of emotion without a treacle aftertast. You are very talented.

I love your use of color, especially in the oil painting. It's like you could turn up the sound on the painting and instantly feel like you were there in the other chair, hearing some music in the background, chatter, and other night sounds. They're both very good.:D

Bluefoot, you sound like you don't like the first one, but I do. It is very contemplative.

You wonder how often he might stoop to look at his own reflection and ask God why?
