Oil on canvas cm.65x95
finished in the first half of September, but painted a picture of years ago, that does not convince nor who looked at him, nor me.
The original intention was to represent a beautiful African lady in her moment of playful relaxation, according to images that I raised Miriam Makeba, when singing, dancing, or when he told his songs, one of which I used here title. The figure dominates the picture, but the narrow cut should not destroy the environment with sun, water and wind, playing on the big sheet, I wanted more color loads, presence of black, black, drawing a lively and noisy, but I are found to mediate, not to crush the dark complexion. I'm not saying it was not possible, I say that I did not succeed.
The figure would been more in the flesh, but if you're not Rembrandt or Botero, it is difficult to accept overweight figures. Difficult, not impossible, and I'm not perfect, what's more I can not afford not models posing for a photo, and rarely the photos, although very well done, commerce, have the pose that I need, so the ' image is "reconstructed" on memories of school, with the help of anatomical tables, photographs, drawings and especially works of those artists who have skillfully dealt with the human figure, with particular attention to the female gender.
In conclusion, I believe I have produced a valuable work, all criticism as the work: the colors blend, the division and direction dela brushwork evokes the dance musical that tried, in fact I think someone will have pleasure to hang this picture on the wall, even without the said mine or the sky would, to some critics.
