Thank you and enjoy.
Emily's right eye looks so realistic against the smooth, curved surface of her spoon head – and the shading on the right side accentuates the effect. I can hear the flutter of papers ... nice work. It's not easy to create a kinesthetic response. Your first thumbnails crack me up! Thank you for the entertainment.
ReplyDeletebeautiful and tragic flight of a composition. gentle palette helps the romantic notion of the final stir. soft and sad and lovely.
ReplyDeleteAS for the eyes- they are looking at different things? ("my letter to the world that never wrote to me,....") Although this is a bit of projection on my part, I'm sure. I love the second sketch (self?) very Chinese.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved Emily!
ReplyDelete2nd sketch is Socrates. (I'd happily have him as my doppelganger ...I think).
ReplyDeleteOriginally I was going with the gadfly of gadflies, who did naught but stir things up... in the sketch he's about to down some hemlock. ~Another stirring moment.
and Emily's walleyes? It's due to the distortion of the base of the spoon, making her more of a prey as well, which seemed to match.
(later it will, however, make it difficult for her to collect her scattered poems off the ground with any alacrity)
This is great! I love your quirky style!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, as usual!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the juxtaposition between the flat curve of the spoon and the structural forms of the face. The eyes are seem to be looking at the now and the hereafter.
ReplyDeleteThe papers swirling away form the gentle character is well done. She seems ethereal with the delicate pallet and textures
