Green Dress by Paul Farnes

A lovely painting Paul, I love the sense of movement and the fluidity of the dress and hair. Well worth hunting out - Enjoy the wine!

Thanks Christine, I'm glad you liked it. Debs' painting has even more movement to it than mine. As for the wine...I did...hic!

I can see the similarity with Debs painting - great minds and all that.....! This is a very striking painting with great fluidity and movement. The green is unusual and very attractive. How lovely to be able to look back at work done in a different era and at a different stage in your life. I know what you mean about teenage years of angst - I found some poems I had written in my late teens and they are sooooo depressing, dramatique and picture squeak - whatever was I thinking of!!!

Well Paul, they do say great minds think alike! I'm glad you found it and posted it!

Thanks Thea & Debs. It was kinda fun to look through them. I found some that I'd totally forgotten about and I found my 'A' Level exam painting which must've been the last painting I did until this year. It was included in a national exhibition of 'A' Level work that went all round the country and I was never sure if I got it back or not. I also found some monochrome doodles playing around with different ways to bring paint and water together on the paper. Some of the effects I achieved look interesting and I may be able to turn them into a painting if I can reproduce them with my current paints. I'll have a go next weekend, but in the meantime I have a right old mess to clear up. Thanks for the comments.
