| "Coffee Break" 14x18 oil on canvas |
Very interesting challenge this one with the light and shade and recognizable faces!
I tried to capture a moment of tranquility before the customer's arrive.
The table cloth is covered with a sheet of plastic which caused some interesting reflections. Skin tones were all over the place depending on whether the person was facing the light or in shade., but slowly over several weeks and allowing it to dry while I did other paintings I think it finally came to life!

Excellent John. Really captures the moment. I bet those shadows on the floor were difficult to do as well. This painting will sell quickly, I should think.
ReplyDeleteThanks shirley, the shadows and highlights were indeed a challenge, as was the flesh tones, never done that before, but wonderful learning experience
