This "Pieta" is so stunning Fran!!
I like the "stone way" of painting this fantastic painting!!
The lines and "fissure" in this work is superb!
The colours magnificent.
The face of the Holy Mary excellent and tender.
Great artwork again my friend!!
Kind regards, Robert
i admire your ability with watercolour....i, myself, have struggled with the medium...and greatly admire the (few) artists who paint well with it. You are one of the few!
Self-taught? Wow, I am new to the world of painting (4 years) and I have a long way to go before I could even come close to your ability. You have been blessed with quite a gift. I enjoyed looking at all of your pictures. Blessings.
Hi, I'm the administrator for the group Expressionismic Figure, and I'd love you to add this picture to the group. Very expressive portrait. Great job. Best regards Fran from Theodore. (accepted)
I love this of Mary..it is relaxing makes me calm..lovely..as I read through other comments..you are self taught..then indeed you have a gift!! ..you are a genius .....
Fran love this composition, love the feeling of Spirituality that flows from this piece, and you have used watercolours, how did you achieve the old cracked textured appearance? CJ Excellent well done.
gorgoeus, and amazing waterpainting skills you can look into her for ages and see something differant, did this take long?and how big is it, looks to me as though it should be quite large :)
Beautiful watercolor painting from this Pieta. Very nice way of stone painting. The lines in this piece of Art are fantastis as well as the colours.With friendly regards Johann.
I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life.. how on earth can you do this using watercolours? I've always loved the original statue, and thought of it as something of a miracle, Michelangelo's first major commission, I think.
So when I saw this I nearly fell over. Luckily I was sitting down at the time. Well done!
I am so pleased that this painting will be now hanging in The Star of the Sea Church. Killyleagh, County Down, Ireland. It has such an ornate gold icon frame, and I always said it should hang in a church, so I am happy.
This is awesome! I can tell you are truly a talented person to have so many varied styles of painting and they are all good. Something tells me what ever you put your hand to comes out very well!
Amazing, it really looks like an old stone statue Your technique is superb, the details and colour combination -'yellow' and blue, excellent Lovely work
