Newest Painting

This painting is really difficult to photograph and capture the nuances that are happening in the piece.  All the colors were applied directly to the canvas and then scumbled to create the brown tones in the skin.  Although it looks as if primarily red and brown were used, that is not true.  I used blue, red, green, yellow, yellow ochre, a very vivid orange and only a minimal amount of raw umber for the deepest areas of brown.  I wanted the feeling of a face (person) emerging from fire, atmosphere, and color.  I will try and get a better photo later and post.  We will most likely have to take a picture at night, so as to not have conflicting light sources.  There is also some glare at the top portion of the photo - hopefully the next go around will produce a stronger photo, but I am pleased to document the painting today.
