Earthly is a sister painting to “Birth”.
This painting started out as a black and white sketch but once colour was added it took a totally different turn.

This painting has given me the blues. The original version of Purity was painted with very saturated earth tones such as burnt orange, amber, chocolate and tan. The flowers are pink and shades of yellow on version one. When viewing it I just wasn’t satisfied. It printed off quite well but it didn’t grab me so back to the drawing board I went.
Here I’ve added several new colours, brightened her skin up a bit, added auburn hair and changed the background from tan to shades of blue. We still have the nude figure with one arm to her side and one arm behind her back and we still have the Faceless Beauty concept. Although I like this version better than Version One this may not be the last we see of Purity. For now she is on Redbubble and can be printed as a greeting card, a poster, a framed print and several other affordable options. Please visit the bubble by clicking the red square on my sidebar.
This is the original version of Purity which can be found in the Faceless Beauty Gallery.

It has become pretty standard that there will be at least three versions of each painting. I can’t think of a piece on Sundrip that hasn’t been revised in some manner. I see the image and think, if I added colour here, changed the texture there and so on I could get an entirely different effect.
The original version is called Sky Blue Dreamer and she’s part of the Faceless Beauty Collection and is categorized under “faces”. The original is as high textured as Version 2 (Ella ha llegado) and Version 3 (She Has Arrived) where I changed colours, added wings, changed the breadth of her shoulders and the shape of her face.


V2 and V3 have experimental filters. V2 is a combo of mural, fresco and the paint dry brush filter. V3 is chalk opaque over paint dry brush. From V2 to V3 you’ll see different colours in the wings, a difference in skin tone, a golden ray necklace and a hint of green in the background. V3 also has a very light halo behind her head.
One thing leads to another and versions happen. I’ve come to enjoy this evolution.
