Woman on Lounge Painting

Here is the finished painting from my previous post. I have added a background since I realize I better start learning about placing my subjects into a scene to create somewhat of a narrative. This is something that I have done very little in the past and I guess it is because I do feel intimated by that process. It is a lot easier to just paint a figure without any background, just splash on some design element in the back and call it done. But I think I have been doing myself a disservice by doing that.

So there, from now on, I will push myself to paint in backgrounds to create a narrative.
