Arise II - a message of hope

Arise-2-xswm.jpg

This is a reworking of an older artwork of mine. It is a message of hope, being able to rise above it all.

Over the years many people asked me about the original which has a home already, until someone finally persuaded me to paint a new version of it for them as a print of it would just not do.

This version is smaller than the original I made some variation to the image as I had progressed painting since I first painted it.

I'll include some of the progress shots of the painting.

Sometimes the initial outline and value statement I find extremely appealing as it has a very graphic art quality to it.

At this state the artwork has an impressionist feel and the raw brushstrokes give it a great sense of energy. It is always a challenge to try to keep this in the final artwork.

Me encantó. Tu estilo de pintura es diferente al de los otros artistas que hay aquí. Estás pintando como lo hicieron los clásicos antes.
