I haven't seen this painting before but now I think it's one of my favorites by you, Sam. The warm palette you used here is just sublime!!!

SRaffa In reply to madbaumer37 [2007-12-13 05:04:59 +0000 UTC]

Done and re-done... I had this whole color scheme where all of it was painted in pink, except the spot where the sun reaches her face-- could not make that work, and ended up doing this instead. Thanks for taking a look!

Very nice. Love the symbol around her neck and the design on the clothes and the grain on the lighting of the sphere/ball in her hand is a nice touch. ^^

Oh my goodness, somehow I did not see this before while browsing your gallery, how did that happen? This is an amazing piece of work, so beautiful. I love the peaceful look on her face, and the glow from the sky And of course the yin-yang, awesome awesome awesome!

SRaffa In reply to katat0nik [2006-09-30 20:18:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
I tried to make this work all in pink, with the sun on her face being the only anomaly; it just wouldn't cohere that way, so I started all over again, with the sun's presence being the entire context, and the pinks and purples of my friend being the anomaly... Some day, I'll try again to make a coherent piece using mostly pinks and white, but for now, this represents my friend (who loves the sun as much as I love the rain) more accurately than my original intentions ever could have...

katat0nik In reply to SRaffa [2006-09-30 21:04:33 +0000 UTC]

It must have been your brilliant subconscience telling you to add more sun She truly looks like she is enjoying the glow from the sky
A painting in pinks & white would be fabulous, I know one day inspiration will hit and it will come to life the way it was meant to be

The very first piece in that gallery, when you click on "Gallery," was the first thing I saw AFTER I'd abandoned my pink & white ambition...
Ecstacy.

I first saw her work in Juxtapoz magazine, a publication that could only be improved with your work on its cover...

I've thought about submitting my work for the "Reader Art" section but of course I am too nervous I only heard about Juxtapoz after I joined dA so it's still a scary new thing to me lol

SRaffa In reply to katat0nik [2006-10-01 18:53:45 +0000 UTC]

Some of that "Reader Art" is every bit as good as the features; makes me wonder what distinguishes one from the other...
They's be all over you; they'd want to do feature stories and send photographers after you-- beware the perils of fame, Sweet Jane!

I love the look of concentration on her face, and the trail of butterfly trail across her body. Your colors are always amazing to me. My palette tends to run more towards blues and greens. That being said, I love to see warmer colors used well, and this piece really catches the eye.

Great level of detail, also. Thank you for sharing!!

SRaffa In reply to giadrosich [2006-07-30 19:14:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much, man; this thing changed colors more than once-- the original idea was to have it all pink, with the one splash of raw yellow light on her face; it just never looked right that way, so I ended up going in almost the opposite direction. Thanks for looking!
