Challenge - Companion of Diana

20x16 oil on canvas

I think that this is the final for this piece. It is the challenge from Karin Jurick's hosted blog.

    Love the strength you added to the composition with those bold blue stokes and darkest darks. I had such a hard time with the sketch. That's what I love about Karin...she always presents a challenge and you did a great job!

    I like your background too. Also, your statue has a quality of being under a spotlight. Great lighting.

    Hi Mark, You did a really nice job with this. I think it was a pretty complicated subject. I really like the blue you put in the background, you should feel good about this. :)

    This is dramatic and wonderful! I really like the strong blue brush strokes in the background - they add to the strength in the statue.
