Blue Rain

Grab your umbrella, friends!

I was trying a new technique with one of Picasso’s blue period paintings…

But this lady looks like she was caught in an unexpected downpour of blue rain!

Some days I just have to laugh!  😉

Happy Puddle Jumping!

    And isn’t it kind of great when art takes on it’s own life and becomes what it was meant to be! It’s very cool!

    This is wonderful! I see the Picasso influence, but you’ve made it your own. (K)

    This is brilliant Jill, she has such a melancholy air about her which is further enhanced by the blue.

    hi Jill, first – I love this!
    I see the influence of Picasso,….. and I see your own creative inner artist Coming Forth to exert its ownership of the piece.
    this is a GOOD Thing!!!
    this is what the master artist strives for, rather than the replication. YAY, Jill! 🙂 cheers, Debi

    See????? If Debi says it (and the rest of us too) then I say Bravo and YAY for Jill! 😀 Love her comment, BTW and I think she is right on! I will go look up Picasso now so I can see, but yes, I think it’s you and him together and it’s some Italian world I don’t know how to spell like bravissimo ! 😀

    OK, I looked. I like his work, but I like yours better, Jill. I really do. Yours has soul and really captures a feeling here. I’m so glad you shared it with us!

    I love this. It reminds me of some of the impressionists.

    Jill. I love your painting. It’s like she’s in the rain indeed. And it looks great!
    This tells me I can do it too. I was thinking it needs a lot of time, this kind of assignment. But it doesn’t . I don’t have to make such a perfectionistic fuss about it. Haha. Thanks for that lesson. ❤

      Glad you like her, Corinne! 💙 I think I watched Carla’s video on it a 100 times so I could get a feel for the technique. I’d also recommend choosing a fairly simple image. I’d like to try it again. Look forward to seeing what you do. 😃👍🎨

    OK. SO it may need quite some time after all. OK. 🙂
