Caught in a Gust of Wind

This is a painting I did based on a Japanese print from 1887 called "Caught in a Gust of Wind". The artists name is Ginko. I love how the wind is pushing against her, how she holds herself up and gathers up the robe in her hands. The robe is a beatiful pink with bright red for an accent. As I was painting this I began thinking of the movie "Hero" starring Jet Li, and I think it was produced by Quentin Terentino. The cinematography was fantastic and the way the frames were shot seemed like the images on the screen were being painted on. Hard to explain unless you see it, but that made me love the movie so much I saw it twice. I also thought the plot was great. Initially I thought I would be bored by the movie as it is somewhat slow moving, but that kept me watching closely and waiting for what came next. I might have to see it again. Although both times I saw it on the big screen so I am not sure how it would be on my tiny TV.
