12 x 12"oil on masonite
Generally speaking, I avoid faces on the figures - I usually find the body language more interesting and want to focus on that alone. In this new painting, with that stark contrast from the bench onto that empty, lit floor - that direct stare from the fellow on the right seemed to fit the atmosphere, as if they were 'on stage' and there for the viewing. Added to that is a lot of applied texture with the palette knife, which isn't as evident unless you can see it in person. Very fun to paint.

Good painting karin. I like your work. Cheers
You always paint things we see everyday in such a wonderful way... I wish I knew how...
Even my 10 year old Tyler likes your work!!
Great job on the faces Karin, and as always terrific drawing on the challenging body angles.
HI Karin
I agree that the body language in your works is THE thing but just the same you do faces VERy well and I always am in awe whe I enlarge your posts to find how few strokes you accomplish those faces with.
I'm still inspired by your work.
