Pre-Raphaelite Redhead - Original Oil Painting by Diane Irvine Armitage

I'm much happier with today's painting of a head.  Kind of has a PreRaphaelite feeling with that long red Lizzie Siddal type hair.  I took a couple of pics of it while I was working on it at first, but then forgot to get any towards the end because I was in the swing of painting and not thinking about anything else.  Original oil painting, 11 by 14 on archival gessoboard.

Here are the "in-progress" pictures ...

Redhead with Black Cat - Original Oil Painting

I have been watching Peggi Kroll Roberts DVDs again - they are amazing!  I love her style and how loose her paintings are.  Just a suggestion of the subject.  So I gave her techniques a go this morning, mixing up way more paint than usual and putting it on there without mucking around too much.  I really like the result!
