Borsheim's Art of the Human Form

Legs in Purple and Blue 38" h X 24" Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas © 2005 Kelly Borsheim Available

Original Oil Painting of Entwined Legs

This original oil painting of "Legs" was very difficult to photograph. On my screen the colors are not accurate. The top leg is a monochromatic painting in French Ultramarine Blue. The bottom leg, creating that terrific diagonal across the canvas, was painted as a monochromatic painting in Winsor Violet (Dioxazine). And the background triangles were painted in Burnt Umber, with a glaze of Grumbacher's Green Earth (Terre Verte) paint.

This painting was created on a gallery-wrapped canvas, so framing is totally the collector's option. The painting is signed with my logo on the front; while on the back, I signed my name and the year, along with the title of this artwork. In addition, this composition looks good either vertical, as shown, or as a horizontal (with the blue leg on the left).
