When I get home from a life drawing session there is always a question of whether or not I should touch up my paintings. But I always decide not to since the painting experience for each piece is over now. It was done from life and it should remain so.

I agree...let it be...it is beautiful. I have to tell you about your racoon...just recently a cell phone co. here is using a racoon as their logo and he is doing all kinds of things...talking on his phone, eating....they would love your guy:)
ReplyDeleteHello Nora:) She's beautiful. Especially the hair and the colors of it! Great job again:)
ReplyDeleteCiao Nora, I have the same problem and generally I decide to paint over again and often I through away all; But I think that it is ok the same because everything is experience!
ReplyDeleteI love always your colour and people and animals... your animals are so friendly and nice!
Ciao, ciao, Floriana
I think you are right. There is a spontanity in your still lifes and even faults enhance the painting. If things are too perfect, flawless, it feels less real and alive, not as interesting. Another great snapshot.
ReplyDeletePrecioso retrato. Saludos!
ReplyDeleteLoving your beautiful life painting Nora, x
ReplyDeleteHi Nora, what a beautiful artwork you have! I am a follower. Thank you for stoping by on my blog. Hugs, Chris
ReplyDeleteNora, I can't imagine painting a portrait with watercolor!! This is a fantastic portrait..hope to see more!
ReplyDeleteI like the spontaneity of this, lovely. Occasionally, I change something, add colors or lines to a life drawing, but most often, I leave mine alone, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful profile pose. I just love how loose your work is. I agree with Roger.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Nora! And this looks like an especially difficult pose. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. And you said it perfectly - its part of the live experience. Good for you to let it be:)
ReplyDeleteHello,Nora.You have created an original and your own style(loose and vibrant) that works perfectly!Beautiful portrait!
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteHola Nora, la inmediatez, lo que en ese momento sientes hace tus pinturas especiales. Este retrato es muy emotivo.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Sehr lebendig Dein Porträt. Herrlich durch die dunklen Farben der Schatten gesetzt.
ReplyDeleteGrüsse Dich

Beautiful as always, Nora. Love your point of view on this one too.
ReplyDeleteYou captured this angle so well. It translates as soft and female. Beautifu.
ReplyDeleteHi! I am so glad you found my blog because now I can follow yours! Your watercolors are so lovely, I like your style, all washes and color overlays. That bit of red in this painting really made it interesting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the holiday!

Me gusta mucho la posición del retrato, muestra un instante, fresco, felicidades por sus trabajos, me gusta mucho su espontaneidad y color.
ReplyDeletesaludos desde Arenys de Mar.
beautiful painting nora
ReplyDeleteLovely profile ! I know what you mean about leaving a painting alone away from the subject but, if I see a glaring mistake I have to fix it and I guess it's a little easier to do if you work in oils
ReplyDeleteI've gotten into this terrible habit of visiting on my phone and not commenting of late because it takes so darned long. But I could have sworn I commented on this one. It is excellent!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Beautifully done, Nora
