We're at the final Summer of Color challenge 'Sage and Sepia'. Thanks to Kristin for hosting this fun theme with fabulous prizes.
So these colours really made me think, I mean, I wasn't even sure what these colours meant. I had an idea about 'sage' but I'd never heard of 'sepia'. Anyway, I looked at the examples, read some definitions and puzzled about what I could do. Shortly afterwards I'm walking in the mall and I see 'sage and sepia' in living colour, I could hardly believe my eyes! I've attached my photo inspiration following my acrylic (6" x 6").

This is fantastic - first, just finding your inspiration in the mall, and then how beautifully you have painted her! Valerie
This is a great painting Christine. (incidentally, was there anything good in the Sales!) lol.
Lovely, Christine. I like the colors and simplicity.
Perfect! You did a good job, Christine.

Now that's what I call having an artist's eye! Your rendition is excellent too, and that's not an easy body perspective to capture. Blessings!
love this!
WOW! That is so cool that you saw this woman wearing this week's colors! It was meant to be!!! I love your creation - you are very talented!!! Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us at SOC!
Wonderful! You painted the woman identically!

Wow. You really captured her.
I love your inspiration photo, and your Sage and Sepia painting is perfect. I love the space all around her which focuses attention on the figure - so often a striking image is spoilt by a lot of detail, and your 'space' is just right. I like the orangey-red bag to offset the sage and sepia.
And thank you for adding yourself to the 'followers', much appreciated.
Love your painting, Christine!... Hope you've been enjoying the weekend, and that you have a great week ahead! ~tina
FANTASTIC!! I love that you also showed the inspiration. Perfect. Love this!!

Awesome! You're very talented!
