Posted this one in my first days at Steemit, and thought it would be nice maybe for those who were not following me at that time to post it again.
It was made as sort of self-portrait, putting in her face, body and hands all love I have for place where I was born. Tried to bring smell of cypress trees, stone fences from islands, sun that shines on your face and that smell of the sea that can be only scent at Adriatic coast.
She is dressed on purpose in black, something that old woman of Adriatic are wearing mostly, and her hair is brushed the same way, despite she is young person. She is old at heart. She is longing for past days, childhood and nature ...
Her hands are getting old, burned with wind and sea salt but her eyes remain dreamy.
Longing for the sea
oil on canvas - 50x60cm
Thank you for watching
You could also pick a jungoilcolor nick, @jungwatercolor :)
You are very talented.
:) thank you for your compliment :) I love doing oil colors by space I am working isn't good for it since they have strong smells so I switched to watercolors. But one day when I will have my studio :))) I will go back to them.

Another GREAT one!! :-)
I am thinking about switching over to oil paint...
do you like it?
I love oil painting but I switched to watercolors since the place I am working is place where I live and they have strong smell when they dry. But try them, there is nothing like them if you love colors :)
Beautifully done @jungwatercolor! <3 I see so much longing in those eyes..
thank you @mayasky, it means a lot to me coming from great artist as you are :)
Beautiful self-portrait, jungwatercolor π

thank you @bebica :)
Such a lovely painting. Her posture, her face - she looks very stoic, wise, but her eyes are so big, young and vibrant.
thank you @offbeatbroad :)
I think, this was the first artwork I saw from you. Still like it a lot!
thank you @reinhard-schmid, me also, it's the reason she is still in my possession :)
