"Not Naive"
Oil on Linen 12" x 9"
by
Anthony A. González


In this painting I kept it very simple, but
it is not showing her weak.
Sometimes it's more difficult to show
strength and keep it simple.

"That is That"
Oil on Linen 8" x 10"
by
Anthony A. González


I like this painting because the expression is clear.
She is looking over her shoulder and she sees
what is in the past.

"Thorns Beneath Her Feet"
Oil on Linen 36" x 16"
by
Anthony A. González


Here is the finished work. I've added vague or
obscure flowers to the background. I also added
some thorny vines at her feet. Hence, the name of
the painting "Thorns Beneath Her Feet".
I see the painting as though she is above the hurt.

"Thorns Beneath Her Feet"
Oil on Linen 36" x 16"
(Painting in progress Part 7)
by
Anthony A. González


Here I'm just painting the background.
I'm thinking of the arrangement I will work
in later. But having the background will give
me an idea of the values that I'll work in later.
And again I'll add some of the details for interest
and some small touches here and there.

"Thorns Beneath Her Feet"
Oil on Linen 36" x 16"
(Painting in progress Part 6)
by
Anthony A. González


Here I painted the robe and it was a challenge,
but I must say it was fun to paint. Color, values
and the drapery all are in play here. Some
of the small details make the whole thing work.
