A Thoughtful Sidestep

[Erisian]

"A Thoughtful Sidestep" will be my album of paintings for 2020-2021. It starts with Fall Girl.

Should be interesting to see.

[sallyanne]

Can't wait to see them all

[Erisian]

A Dark Face. Quick and sketchy but I like the results.

SPIRIT OF AUTUMN

These look great, Erisian; particularly like Spirit of Autumn.

Thanks Lyle. I surprised myself with Spirit Of Autumn. I think that for some time now, I have been accepting lower quality painting than I am capable of but joining the Krita artists forum has been an inspiration to me. I suppose technically it shouldn't be in Gimp Art because it wasn't painted in Gimp but I want to keep my paintings together if possible.

[Nidhogg]

Agreed, the spirit of Autumn is very nice, like how you did the fiery hair to resemble the maple leaves.

She's got to be the Green Man's favorite girl.

Erisian, I like them all but I must agree that the "Spirit of Autumn" is really my favorite! Your colors are brilliant.

[Erisian]

Thank you everybody. She's one of my favourites.

Erisian - nice work; as you are so inspired I can't wait for 'Spirit of Winter'

I feel sure it will happen but here's something else in the meantime.

[Erisian]

I did this one for the Krita Artists Forum Halloween Mask challenge. The brief was to create an alter-ego with a halloween mask of your own design. I'm a nature lover and a musician so The Spirit Of Life seemed a reasonable option. I had a lot of trouble with AnMal's talons so I left them out. (She insisted on being in the painting as a raven)

I love Autumn too. The smell, the look, everything. I was also born in Autumn, maybe there is a connection.

Beautiful work.
