Return of the Blue Figure

The Blue Figure is an acrylic now in a private collection.  This is one of the first figure studies I did learning to use color after 25 odd years of B&W and graphite.  What struck me about the model was the way the light emphasized the bone structure of the back. It looked abnormal.

The photo I took of the original had some defects so I removed it from the gallery and photoshopped it clean. Amazing! She is back in the Portrait and Figure Gallery.
