        This model had just shooed some tourists out of her background one morning in Venice and was prancing back to her photographer when Wiken captured her mid-skip. Photo used with permission. Its finished and in a competition so submitted for your enjoyment only. 40×25. Geneva oil on cotton canvas.

            Fantastic painting and subject matter.

            Solvent = Leaner Oil = Fatter Drawing is the basis of art. A bad painter cannot draw. But one who draws well can always paint. (Arshile Gorky)

                                                Wow, great sense of depth, with hardly any perspective! Very effective use of values, details and edges!
