11x14" using black gesso and oils. I find silhouette paintings very fun and effective!

So beautiful and detailed! Great colourmixing for the background and what stunning silhouettes!

Love this. She looks so pensive. I wonder what she's thinking about. Like the simplicity of the painting.

Thanks all! She's probably thinking "I should've received royalty checks for using my likeness" haha :)

so did you freehand or tape the silhouette? Love the background

Hi Toadi, the tree was freehand. The birds and the girl I outlined in pencil first before filling in with paint.

that's awesome....thanks bunches

What caught my eye is her hair. I keep thinking there is a deep meaning that she grows as close to nature and hair is somewhat like roots to show that unity with the tree and maybe even lifecycle when trees grow on someone’s remains.

Nice gentleness of the color and perfect gradient of colors!
