Expressions in Color

On February 5, 2011February 16, 2011 By themoonstoneIn Strokes of Color

These are a couple of my paintings of human figures.
The first one ‘The Kitchen Maid’ I painted using water colors. This is a copy from the works of Johannes Vermeer. The original in oil is beautiful in its detailed depiction.

The Indian lady in green is one of my favorites. I painted this one in oil.

Again an oil painting, this one didnt really turn out very well..

This oil painting is a copy from the works of Isaac Lazarus Israels.
Israels spent most of his life in Amsterdam where he painted people on the street.

I always said Indian ladies were the best! There’s something in the water……whether it be the Indus, the Kaveri, or the Ganges 🙂 BTW is she demure or disinterested?

“Is it the saree that make a woman beautiful or a woman who wore a saree?” Question haunts me always!

The second painting caught my attention most, compared to others. The shades of saree and the back-ground is just awesome!
