New painting - Stained Glass Window - in progress

img_0274_blog.jpg

This newest painting will be my first diptych, although it started out as a triptych. Due to “eyeballing it” - turns out I only need two 16 X 16 canvases instead of three.

This is my first time using black gesso, covering the canvas and applying light colours back on top. I was inspired by the windows in Red Haired Mary (?) to carry on with a stained glass window theme. (5)

Wide-Eyed Mary, Lady Salvation, Red-Haired Mary, Three-Fingered Mary, etc. - COMPLETE

Lady Salvation, Red-Haired Mary, Three-Fingered Mary, etc. - FINISHED

Title: Untitled (June 13, 2008), Size: 18 X 24, Acrylic, Carollyne Yardley

She’s finally done, the painting is finished, and yet she is still unnamed. Maybe I should call her, ‘”Ol what’s her name”.

Almost finished - Lady Naverly?

Almost finished - Lady Naverly?

Almost finished - the pillow was really my nemesis on this one. I think I’ve almost conquered it. I really wanted a fluffy pillow, instead of a flat-blah pillow. I’m going to work a little bit on the trim, and some of the woodwork on the sofa, and by golly, it’s thisclose to being complete.

Lady Naverly is Waiting - stillllll in progress

I’m almost finished, and will take a good quality photo once complete. But the status is - stilllllll in progress.

Two names so far are: Lady Naverly is Waiting or House of Stained Glass Windows. Once I get a few more names together, I’ll put this out to poll to select the best choice. AND, if you leave a comment on my blog, you could always submit a suggestion. (8)

Still going (2) - I hope to have finished by mid-week. I have to work on some of the body, chair, drapery, and the pillow needs to be lightened back up.

Still a lot more work to do. (8). LG came up with a name today, but then we both forgot what it was. Lady Nave-something is best what we can remember for now. By the time she’s done, she’ll have a name though.

Red haired Mary, or Rosemary?

 Red haired Mary, or Rosemary?

(3) I’ve decided to paint this lady in a stained glass window gallery, I’ve started the stained glass on the right. The only thing complete about this painting is her face, and the orange cushion, everything else is underpainting so far. Her name hasn’t emerged yet either, this one may go to a vote….

I’m having a hard time getting a good photo - light flash, then burn - ugh.

Posting a close up of her face….
