Contemporary Artists of North Carolina: Large Figurative Painting, Figurative Art, "Market Day" by Carol Schiff, 27x54" Oil

This figurative oil painting depicts a young woman, in a tropical location, shopping at an outdoor market.

I wanted to paint a very large, almost life-size, figurative painting. I stretched the canvas myself as the finished piece is 27x54".

Although it doesn't really show in this image, I did glaze, after glaze, after glaze on the head to get the deep, rich, hues.

This figurative oil painting is quite different from the daily paintings you usually view here. It's always good to stretch yourself.
