Timeless Art Nostalgia - Part 2
Hello Steeminans. I promised you a new story for the next painting that was part of the art exhibition in Denmark, 2012.
This particular one is actually unfinished, I simply couldn't continue on it, don't really know why. The element in the middle was so nicely painted and there were so many details to take care of already (face, hair etc.), that when I got to the background, all I could do was a simple warm "light", a candlelight.
Pray
Oil painting. Size: 60x40 cm
Story
My mom had a middle sized wooden statue in her bedroom, so when I was at her place for a visit, I immediately got inspired from it. Was very much into the obscure style at that time, and that statue seemed perfect as a subject. I don't think she still has it today, but what matters is that I captured the moment.
A year or so later, after I moved in with my boyfriend, he saw this painting and immediately hung it on the wall. His walls are empty, he doesn't like to hang anything really, that's why I was surprised when he said that this one is his favourite. I knew that in my mind, this painting is unfinished, but for him, it was perfect. One single focus in the middle, one expression, lots of space in the background.
Sketches
Within that time, I was also learning how to draw croquis, and these are some of my best sketches.

leave it unfinished its kool
Hey @kingfish111, unfinished it's best. There are many works that I'd like to present, and if I'd do it all in one, it will be one helluva long post that no one's going to get to the end of :-D In this way you get to see one art work at a time :-)
I don`t think there is such a thing as an unfinished piece of art or music! Upvoted and Followed :)
Hey @matt2525, Yes you might be right. Although it felt really unfinished to me, to others it looked just perfect. Maybe it was just me wanting to fill all that background space with something, and because of that, I actually didn't show it at the exhibition. But now I finally got the courage to show it here, and I'm surprised one more time, that people like it! So thank you!
