I am especially happy with the feet and the back.
Why Vera? ...well, Aloe Vera (as in the cactus) (I know I shouldn't give up my day job here)

This is my first composition from concept to final. I wanted to get light and colour into it...and for some reason, dreadlocks. I did regret the dreadlocks decision half way through! ...and it needed pineapples]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 15:12:06 +0000 http://marsha.cgsociety.org/gallery/608848

I painted this nude and kept looking at the back shape and the stripe of his ribs. I realised that he reminded me of an armadillo. He was henceforth known as Mandillo Man!

My first full figure done during the online workshop with Don Seegmiller. I can't believe how hard hands and feet are as well as shoulder blades]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:04:55 +0000 http://marsha.cgsociety.org/gallery/608820
