Well...I still have a lot of work to do on my Klimt-inspired goddess, Hera, that I'm doing for Tam LaPorte's class. I want to fix her hands, have lots of detail to add to the halo, shading to add to branches, touch ups on face and hair, etc. Lots of small detail work to do. My biggest problem is trying to decide what to do with the background...colors, layers, etc. Not sure yet. She's taken me many hours and I figure I'll finish her over the weekend. Not exactly the same style as Tam's but I just went with what "came out" as I painted.
Quite a challenge...

Oh wow, I know what you mean. I think I could work on the "details" of my goddess forever! Part of it is that the canvas is so large, but the other part is that Klimt's own work was so rich in detail I think.
Your work is looking beautiful. I'm really enjoying watching it develop! :)

Thank you, Joy! The detail work has given me some good brush stroke practice!
Yes, to those who've asked...I did change her clothing and the color scheme since my last session!
