This is another canvas paint-over. I like painting over old work. It adds texture, is budget friendly, and answers my storage needs!
The original painting:
And the new painting:
I actually prefer the image with this tight crop:
But, alas, you cannot crop a canvas. Well, you can. But you have to unstretch the painting and then re-stretch it over a new frame. That seems like a lot of work when I could simply do a better job next time.
I really like the texture in her hair…
…and the kind of frantic background.
As I was photographing the canvas I noticed this title on the top edge:
Rather appropriate, eh?
I continue to push myself to create arresting images rather than pretty ones. I'm not totally satisfied with this canvas, but that's all just part of my evolution.
Thanks for stopping by!
2 down, 98 more to go! I like the new version of “the lone woman”. It’s going to be fascinating to see your canvas evolution…thanks for sharing!

Julie…there are canvas sheets for printers that you can buy….you could crop your lady and then print her out on the canvas sheet…and then either use it on a tote bag or journal. The canvas sheets sew great. Just a suggestion.

The Lone Woman is just right…I was thinking that she looked so strong and determined.

You are definitely evolving as an artist, and it is a pleasure to watch the evolution unfold! Your quote, “I believe every person has a story to tell”: I feel the second woman has a much more interesting story to tell than the first. Your goal of making arresting art was spot on with this one. Her image will continue to pop into my mind as I try to conjure the story behind her expression.

What struck me was you saying it could not be cropped and I saw a picture frame with a mat in my head. Even with an offset mat in order to crop to your exact preference would just bring more focus to it. I love it.

Part of what I love about your art is the ability to go for arresting over pretty. I remember you saying once that you spent time time chasing pretty – I feel like that is the rut I am in now – Thanks for continuing to share your art with us!
