Never Quit Searching

I finally got to paint this from my digital manipulation, Don’t Give Up Searching . I’m so pleased with the result. I used a few different textures and oil paint and made the eye brown rather then blue so that the image was unified in pallet to suit a college project so that I could paint this particular piece without abandoning duty.

Never Quit Searching belongs to the following groups:

Art Inspired by Dreams, In the Moment, Lesbian and Bi-Women's Art, Masterpiece: Art, Mixed Media, Rusty, Crusty and Falling to Bits and Visual Texture

Jen Whyte

Sensational work
Stacey Hatton

Incredible. You’ve created a real sense of 3D. The texture and tonal shading is brilliant. I love the strength of the painting in contrast with the digital version. And I think the brown eye actually works better.
googa

increadible texture. i’m speechless as to how good this is. instant favorite. bravo.
hatefueled

Wow thanks guys! It means a lot to get that kind of feedback. Paul, this one is about 35cm by 50 but I’d have to measure it next time I’m at tafe where it’s drying to get the exact measurements. I do know its at least 50 on it’s longest axis though because the lecturer requested that as a minimum.

Marie Magnusson

absolutely brilliant, I like the brown eye better and the texture is fantastic. very strong message together with the title, I think the eye has a very sad expression though, like she has almost given up. very impressive 3Deffect
hatefueled

yes, I tried changing the direction of the eye from looking up into the sky to more across and into the distance.
thank you!

Adam Stone

I’ve been looking through your work for the past half and hour and i’m absolutely awestruck. Your various styles are each beautifully realized and each piece tells its own story…

All of your work is amazing and deserves its own comment, however i have to say this is my favourite. Its wonderful and shows how a little more time and care can make an excellent piece outstanding. Sorry to ramble on, but i’m so impressed with your talent! Really well done.
hatefueled in reply to Adam Stone’s comment

:d thank you so much! with the time i’ve been having latly, a nice comment like that is enough to put down the pills and stick to the vodka for now. [huge cuddles]

hatefueled in reply to Lila Alias’s comment

thank you! glad you liked it!
Colin Cartwright

Astonishing detail, especially with the expression in the eye. Beautifully highlighted, amid the coarse oil paste textures. A superb combination.
The strong, powerful orange-red hues, make this a visually striking piece!

SOUL piercing
and very touching …instant favorite
and i like that you change the eye to unify the whole color scheme
i like everything about it
wonderful
hatefueled in reply to colorblind’s comment

:D thanks! i wasn’t sure it had the same effect without a blue eye colour. but I love using a limited pallet. monochromatic work seems to distract less from the concept.
colorblind

never be afraid to make changes…never get to comfortable with one thing….because there always another way to do the same thing but better or lol worser
hatefueled in reply to colorblind’s comment

yeah i know. ive been so experimental in the past. its fun!
Birgitta

I am absolutely blown away by your talent…..........!!!!!
I thought the original was good….but WOW.
This takes the cake.
hatefueled in reply to Birgitta’s comment

:D thank you! I think one of the best purposes for photo manipulation is for references for original traditional work.
Peter Zentjens

If only I could, I would favourite it twice. This is amazing and I totally agree with Birgitta: your talent blows me away.
