Rough Rafu 7

The Girl from Zephyr

Oil on a double acrylic primed illustration board. (Bainbridge 2200, cold press, textured.)  16"x 8".

I broke the rule of Rough Rafu for this piece; it was just too small (8"x 10") to render a whole figure.  There are a lot of detailed elements, such as jewelry, a wine glass, etc.  Although it is still a Rough Rafu category, it took more than 24 hours to complete.

A boarder line work between a study piece and a finished painting.  This category of my work (Rough Rafu) was produced within a 16 to 24 hour time range. 

The time spent on the piece, its relatively simple content, and small dimension reflect the asking price.  

Here are the first three pieces.   Enjoy the world of 8 x 10!

The New Work, "Sunset at Oxbow"

Oil on Masonite panel, 36" x 24".

Very intense sunset light cut across the model and the environment at Oxbow Nature Park located near my former studio. I got many inspirations from the park, and it is depicted in a few of my other pieces. I like how the piece turned out, the way shadow and light areas are separated distinctly into two different worlds like night and day.

The New Work, "Evening at Galena"

Oil on linen, 20"x 18".

One of my very few nocturnal pieces.  In the clear winter evening, just before dusk, I was able to capture this colorful sunset moment in the sky.  The model was posed in my studio about the same time, but with a different lighting setup.
