| "Thinking on the stairs" oil and charcoal on linen by Kerry Steele |
Last week, the mood struck to do another figural piece. I chose linen and began in several pastel colors. It quickly began to resemble one of my blue and white pieces on linen with the pastel colors standing-in for the white.
I have a 48 x 48 canvas with an indentation on the top stretcher bar, nothing huge but I felt wrong to sell it so I painted something for myself. It is another painting that defies photography and won't show all of the subtleties in color.
Instagram filters seemed to be my only help.
In reality it is somewhere between the two.
I also am trying to do a few smaller canvases.
I picked up two 5 x 7 canvases and decided to give it a whirl.
The one on the left sold very quickly so I think I need to do more.

Thanks!
I'm in love with her!! And I love that you painted on linen - perfection.
She is stunning!
I love your figural piece! She would look great in a bedroom! Loving the other abstracts too!
Fabulous new pieces! I hope this autumnal weather provides lots of inspirations for new works. Perhaps a jewel tone series?

Kerry, your talent is inspiring. I love the mood of the figural painting. And you know I love the abstracts!
This figural painting is gorgeous, and I love the abstracts. Especially the bottom two. Wow. You go.
I love the idea of small canvases. They look great on bookshelves. Your nude is so amazing.
I love the colors in the small canvases and I wish we could actually see all the colors in the painting. Just love everything you do.
The two small ones are great -- love the greens. And "Thinking on the Stairs" is beautiful. Just love that linen look. Any chance you can do linen on the smaller scale like the 5x7s?
LOVE "thinking on the Stairs" the most!
