Studio Still Life, Linda Dalton Walker

This is a piece I just finished. It is oil on mahogany. The ecorche (sculpture without skin) in the background is one of my creations. This view is what I look at while I am painting in my studio. I became so intrigued with the still life, I decided to give it a new life.
It is 11" x 14". I am selling is for $450.00.

Angel "The Last Temptation of Christ"

This is the Angel piece that I did as an additional painting while I was working on  the "Last Temptation of Christ." The model used a climbing harness, but put it on backwards so he would incline toward me. He was clipped into a rope that hung from a ceiling beam. My studio at that time had a skylight which gave the perfect back light for what I wanted. Yes, he even wore the wings I purchased. This was a very daunting pose for him; one he could only hold for 15 minutes at a time. I placed a model stand below him, and would move some wooden blocks under his feet when he needed a rest.
The painting is 24" x 36" and is on Mahogany. The piece sells for $900.00.

Christ, Last Temptation of Christ

This is another painting I did of the Last Temptation of Christ. I wanted to paint the details of the model's arms to try to convey the amount of muscles involved in holding such a difficult pose.

I ground the Indigo paint for the sky to get the exact color I wanted.
The painting is 26 x 24 and is oil on Mahogany.

Linda Dalton Walker, Last Temptation of Christ, Oil Painting

I was reading what Russell Black said about not painting from photos, etc. and it reminded me of painting this image of the crucifixion of Christ. It is a very large painting, 48" x 63", and I felt as if it filled my studio. Even though many of my paintings have creative, imaginative elements, I firmly believe in painting from life. I believe I am able to achieve a much more realistic and solid image.
For the Christ figure, I had a cross made that would fit the model. The model and I laughed when I told him he had to come for his fitting of the cross. The studio I had at that time had a cross beam across the ceiling. The Angel is a rock climber so he tied a secure length of rope around the beam and reversed his climbing harness so he would angle toward me.
Both poses were extremely difficult for the men, and they could only pose for about fifteen minutes before they needed a break. They were never together in the pose, and have never met.
Before I even started the painting, I created a clay model about 12" high, next I created several thumbnail sketches, and a small drawing in charcoal. I also painted a smaller study before I even thought of tackling the larger piece. In addition I did separate paintings of the Angel and Christ figures by themselves. I will post them at a later date.

Tarot Chariot, Linda Dalton Walker, Oil Painting, Avenue's Street Fair

Well, the Avenue's Street Fair was certainly interesting. The pouring rain and the people kept us busy all day. It is exhausting setting up, talking all day, and breaking it down in the evening. There certainly was a good turn out of people, which added to great people watching.

Why do we do street fairs?
