May's Walled Garden Theme - Chapter Two

Added 2022-05-31 02:42:39 +0000 UTC

Our second installment on the walled garden theme here includes variations on the bust and portrait postures/gestures, in the shifting natural light.

Despite the shade and the overcast, there are plenty of opportunities for heat in the color palette. Notice the hot green and warm skin, where the light is infusing the environment and figure with the brighter chroma from the temperature shifts.

Temperature can be a beautiful narrative in a piece, even with limited or monochromatic palettes.

Some poses here could be interpreted with a range from Spanish street dancer, to classical green nymph, to Waterhouse-esque introspective lady in the garden, to Snow White's evil queen offering the poison apple, to contemporary emotive or abstracted scene study, to name a few off the top of my head.
