She Ends and Begins

She Ends and Begins

18″ x 24″ – Oil on Canvas

She Ends and Begins is painted from a digital photograph and from imagination. I intentionally pushed the contrast between warm skin tones with synthetic cool shadows. The intended effect was to create a psychological impact through color. Though the painting has a lot of color, it is visually quiet as the eyes gaze beyond the frame in a contemplative way.
