CHESS-NUT

CHESS-NUT 10x8" Acrylic on Canvas Board 2011 by Roopa Dudley (Sold!)

There is really no deep story behind this one. I was watching the Capitals and noticed some hardcore Caps fans painted their faces and showing their staunch support to their favorite team. At that very moment I had a flash of genius and decided to paint something never imagined before i.e not a tomboy but a girlie girl who is obsessed with Chess. What she would look like showing her support with a Fashionista Chess fan Mask. This was the result.

This painting was published in The Capital Gazzette newspaper in December 2012 during Midnight Madness event.

    1. Thank you Bhavna! Beauty is ALWAYS in the eyes of the beholder. I am quite amazed that you have a background in Engineering and now you are in Painting. In my book 'A STRATEGIC PAINTER: MASTERMIND YOUR CRAFT' one chapter deals with the personality types INTJ and INTP and they both approach art like a science and science like an art. I believe you may be an INTJ yourself. Good to have you here.

    1. Anytime Bhavna. If you shoot me an email on RoopaDudley@gmail.com I can send you a pdf file of my book that you can check out and even forward it to those who may not be able to afford it ($25 book is a lot in India). However, I must caution you that it is meant for those who are just starting out or taking Painting in College. I would not recommend it to you because as a Professional as you already have been there and done that.

      I just posted a new blog post last night. Many more to come. Some of my paintings are not professionally photographed yet so I am waiting on that to happen so I can make more blog posts.

      Thank you once again for your wonderful comments.
