I didn't do it as a conscious tribute to K's photo of the man in Venice with the swollen eye, but I'm sure that's where it came from.<br /><br />PA, cool that you noticed the background (the buildings/village). I probably spent most of my time on it; changing it and adding to it.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-5014913410960285792010-10-26T13:41:48.522-05:002010-10-26T13:41:48.522-05:00I like how you have the weight of the "house ...I like how you have the weight of the "house like" lines floating above the outstretched leg.

I love the impact and also the fact that I've figured out a way to oil paint and still take advantage of the meetup sessions, where oil paint and stinky stuff are forbidden.<br /><br />The bottom one probably is going to change some because I can see things I want to do to it. The top one probably will not change much--except, at least, I'll scrape off the signature and re-paint it.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-5252400082385564212010-10-24T20:23:50.825-05:002010-10-24T20:23:50.825-05:00Interesting lines and color in the top, interestin...Interesting lines and color in the top, interesting expression in the close up.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-49539600182749957702010-10-24T18:59:36.844-05:002010-10-24T18:59:36.844-05:00I love the strong impact the blues make against th...I love the strong impact the blues make against the dark background.
