Every once in a while, as an artist, I wonder how did another artist get that effect.
Not havng had any formal training in art (and the application there-off), I read a lot of art books, go and see other artists works at gallery's and shops, and try when I get back home to achieve the shading/shadows/light effects in a realistic manner.
Most often this exercise results in a lost painting underneath the blobs/and strokes that were to mean something.
So, I paint over it and away I go again.
Yesterday I painted this little Jewel.
Yep the lighting and shadows and depth happened as I painted, and it all made sense.
I finally did it without agonizing about the method.
Maybe one has to learn things, and just wait for the right time to implement them!
Enjoy this painting, I like the mysteriousness of it.

Kathleen - Thank you for your kind comment! I would love to meet you one day! I felt an instant connection when I saw your work in Back to the Grind coffee shop. Just letting you know that my studio doors are always open to you to come have a cup of coffee!
This is a wonderful piece! I love the ones that come to fruition "unexpectedly"!
