Life studies Aug 14

I'll post 2 quick painting sketches from a session on Aug 14. The usual modifications are made to allow these images to be seen by all.

Fifteen minutes doesn't allow time for toes, sorry!
I was cutting it pretty close on this one, barely enough time to get the tone study finished.

Does twenty minutes seem like long enough? Not this time, so I was scrambling to put any finesse I could into this sketch.
Blurred in the usual places, not as a result of fast painting, rather fast blur tool in Photoshop.

Awesome… job. These are great!

We should have the un-blurred version somewhere. Where we adults can see and enjoy the full human form. I have no problem with artistic nudity.

I can't imagine how you get so much done in such a short time and in spite of what you've said, it's done very well!

Thanks Faisal and Jan.

I may post the original oil and market sketches, unaltered, on our helenalanspinney website. I have just not gotten around to organizing the posting of new work there.

That way, people who are okay with the nude form can see the work, and the WSF forum stays within its intentions of being visited by anybody and everybody. And Everybody wins!   

Sounds good… . But for some reason your website links don't appear at the bottom of your post? Have you deleted it?

I did delete the weblink, as I am getting so much into comic book work, it seemed like it might be crass: ('see my site, buy my book' sort of thing)

Alan, there is absolutely nothing wrong in saying "see my site, buy my book". The sad thing is people who are deserving (like you) are shy and feel that you are taking advantage of people. I don't think so. First of all you are not putting a gun on anyones head, it is a mere suggestion/advertisement… Please advertise your work… Thanks for sharing the link… .

I agree with Faisal. You should put your site back in your signature.  You have so many beautiful paintings between the two of you and now you comic book People need to be able to see them.

Thanks for the reassurance, I have restored the signature. Now to submit this message and see if it worked...

Yup!

I agree. Nice to see all your work again Alan.

Very nice website Alan, and wonderful paintings !

You definitely need to keep your link in your signature - the work there is too nice to get lost!

Agree with Jan!

Thank you all for your comments and site visit!
