Day 16/30: "Kisses" *SOLD*

"Kisses" *SOLD*

4" x 4"

Oil on Board

 

Cute little kisses.  They look so harmless, don't they?  The little creatures are hard to paint!  That crumpled up foil....arggghh! 

 

The next time I will really try to simplify a lot more.  The problem is, I think, that you can divide light and shadow - as much as you can for a highly reflective surface - and try to eliminate detail, but it's the detail that gives "the kiss" its characteristic look. I'd love to hear what other artists have to say and how you may have tackled the problem.

 

I do have a WHOLE BAG of kisses now....paint 'em, eat 'em, love 'em!

 

Thanks for looking!
