Sunday Sketches - The Dress

Happy Birthday Alexandra!!! Thanks for always hosting!

I'm showing a couple of ATCs this week in acrylic. They were inspired by a lady I saw in the grocery store recently. I wish I could've taken a photo of her dress instead of trying to re-create these versions from memory here! I also showed the lower dress at Paint Party Friday.  The one on the easel is new for Sunday Sketches.  Happy Sunday!

Linking to Sunday Sketches.

    Beautiful paintings and that dress is really wonderful! I am always amazed that you can paint things so small! Valerie

    I'm intrigued by her stance, and the dress and what looks like snow! On an ATC? Wow!

    It looks like she had on a very pretty dress. I like that you came home to paint it from memory. I like the dramatic shadow.

    I love the contrast between the stark black top and the washes on her skirt. Blessings!

    I would have remembered her dress as well. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you saw her again and could share your work? It would be so nice to be an inspiration for such a lovely painting.
