Purple Rory
This is the second painting of a four piece series that I painted of my favorite model or muse, Rory. Rory is my sisters French Bulldog. She is the cutest puppy ever. And, has so much personality. The pictures my sister takes of Rory always tell a story, because Rory shows so much emotion in each one. It makes it easy to bring such a fantastic character to life. To keep with the theme of non-traditional colors, I chose a purple, pink and blue color palette for this piece. The way Rory is looking up at the camera, and the way I painted the background makes her look a little scared and maybe a little sad too. But, of course I want the viewer to decide what they think Rory is feeling and what emotions this painting brings out in them.
The first piece of this series is my Blue-Green Rory, and the third piece is my Green-Pink Rory, my forth piece is my Multi Colored Rory.
These paintings are small, but make a big impact with their unique colors and poses of Rory. They are great individually, but truly feel complete when together.
