Oil paint on canvas - 80x120 cm.
Bizarrely, that word .. Luxuriance... had been running in my head for days like an intriguing leitmotiv, and painting it out seemed the most natural and only way to shut the voice.

Here is a painting I finished in january after 3 months of daily efforts. I've forced myself to paint everyday, despite the usual overwork at 2Roqs.
For once this painting isn't about a deep worry I may have had, it is more simple in the meaning. Instead, I've explored domains quite new to me: for instance, I've plunged almost the whole painting into penumbra to allow a brighter light to fall down on the hand.
I worked out the movement and the body language. The weird cropping of the girl should produce a disequilibrium that contradicts her course. On her face, I tried to display an expression of joyful surprise mixed with a bit of worry.

Close-ups can be seen at zancan.fr.

I hope you like green!

Elle paraît surprise d'être happée par un monde surnaturel et merveilleux auquel elle ne s'attendait pas. Ce vert intense et cette lumière amplifient cet esprit fantastique. J'adore les détails et particulièrement le rendu des drapés ! :heart:

This is beautiful to the extreme, I swear. The way the hues of each little part of this painting flow together so wonderfully it's insane. Keep on painting my friend, you have a gift.
