Eves-Rib

I know I have been very quiet lately, but only because I have other things that demand my time. I will make more new art when I can.

I've introduced some sub-folders to my gallery in the last couple of days to organise it a little better. Now historical paintings (as opposed to image manipulations), as well as prom, quince anos, and school paintings, are separated out by topic. The gallery felt like a jumble before. This gives me a better overview of what I've done, and also what I haven't yet done.

Today I posted a set of twelve portraits of gender role-reversed 19th century men and women. The styles date from the late 1820s to the 1840s. I was trying to raise my portrait painting to a better level.

I've started a series called 'Gendertypes'. You can find them in the subfolder in my gallery. The idea is to depict some typical males and typical females... Eve's Rib style.

I noticed that my "historical" images weren't as good as they could be. They're a few years old and my skills have moved on. Over the last week I've redone a lot of them, using higher resolution originals, changing my choice of images, etc. Before, I often didn't bother removing facial hair from the menfolk, but some people found that distracting. So I've got rid of most instances of that. And I've been doing some new historicals too, as you can see!
