Another Sneak Peek

Pictured is The Hunter's Present by Gabriel Metsu from the Dutch exhibit. I used this image for painting #3 which was an immensely enjoyable color palette to use because of the many variations. From a rich vermilion in the woman's dress to a subtle muted green in the background the lovely tones were perfect for my project. This painting has a humorous story full of nuance. The woman is lured by the double meaning in the gentleman's "gift" of freshly killed fowl but reaching for her bible to help her resist the temptation.
