Digital sketch vs. final (oil).
Originally thought I was going to paint this on natural canvas with clear gesso, but I took a stab at it and didn't like it. So ended up painting on white gessoed canvas. Sometimes you gotta change up your idea 🤷♀️

In progress. If there's one thing I'm gonna do, it's colorful and slightly weird skin tones #oilpainting #figurativepainting

I worked full-time in tech for many years before rediscovering art in my 30s. I still do some freelancing.

When I showed my 6-year-old niece this painting, she said, "Aunt Karen, I think you forgot to color in some parts." 😂

QRT with your sketch and final
I often do large "sketches" to plan out everything before I get started. For some reason, I just gotta see it at full size to really get a sense of the composition.

Hi #PortfolioDay :)
I am a traditional artist who is constantly experimenting with combining oil paint with other media (sometimes weird stuff like glass beads and crushed semi-precious stone!)
My art celebrates the multifaceted nature of female power and identity ❤️

It's so satisfying to paint people. I feel, without a drop of cynicism, that we are beautiful creatures and a manifestation of the glory of nature.
