profile of neve
“profile of neve”
12″ x 12″ fresco

i photo documented the development of this painting
for an article in Artist’s Magazine that will feature the step by step progression
something strange happened as i was painting this piece
… i felt an inseparable connection and i am keeping this painting for myself
the last ‘step by step’ painting that i did was for Watercolor Artist
and it was a painting of a 15 year old girl and her dog
after it was published i wished that i would have featured a much more simplistic painting
this is why i decided to paint a basic profile for this step by step
i’m hoping that it will leave the viewer with more insight into my process
because i chose to part from my conceptual realm
and paint my muse from an academic perspective
i felt that the title was simply “profile of neve”
so, by the time this painting was finished, i was emotionally attached

Absolutely beautiful Ali. And I feel a lot of emotion in this painting, interesting I think considering that you approached it from a more academic perspective.
