Lady in Green
It was a challenge to capture both the pose, the mood and the body. Through my love of watercolors I had to simplify the painting and at the same time find points of interest where I can best express myself.
I find that Lucian Freud exaggerates what he sees, if the nude model is thin he paints her extra thin, if she is fat he paints her extra fat. In this painting I am left to wonder what he exaggerated.
I find his paintings fascinating and captivating. I had the privilege of seeing his exhibition at the London Portraits Gallery and it was just sheer pleasure.
My painting is 30cm x 40cm watercolors and watercolor pencils.
