Third attempt at copying Collins. Still searching for that sweet spot
between painting what you see and inventing.

I think this has the closest feel yet of what you are after. It is lovely.

Une grande subtilité avec le jeu de la lumière et l'ombre... Cela apporte à votre personnage une expression impénétrable. Elle est belle et secrète.
Gros bisous

I am blown away by all 3 of your paintings! I think you've captured a looseness (love it!) and a different atmosphere in each one.

The shadow on the right is a brilliant adaptation of this pose!(Now, does THAT make sense?) It adds additional drama, mystery and story. Your technique is marvelous!Love the temperature changes.

Thanks for the nice comment about my little hibiscus.

I love how you're taking the same painting and totally changing the mood in each one. I think you're definitely finding the sweet spot.
