Girl Talk
16 x 16 Oil Painting
by Pat Fiorello
Some paintings just naturally seem to paint themselves. Not this one. It sat in my studio scraped down, half finished for several weeks until I went back to it yesterday. The background was originally a dark brown which really didn't seem to work, so I mixed up a slate blue-grey which seemed to bring things back to life. Lesson learned, if I either don't have the real thing to paint from     ( the best case scenario) or a really good photo of shadow and light patterns, odds are it's going to be a challenge.
