THANK YOU Sharon Tomlinson...
I decided with ease to stop at 40...
I will continue to learn more and more about portraits,
(my first painting love)
this was a study (ALL OF THEM) that brought multiple gifts...
to name a few:
lighting on the piece
a mood
placement
perfect imperfections
happy accidents
searching the masters
searching for new ideas
color color color...
and loving black and white
those last notations barely skim the surface as to the wealth of information I found doing these...
as you can see there are two on the drawing board.
my hat goes off to all participants in this education as well as to others that go the extra miles!
I sent this into Cloth Paper Scissors,
about a year ago.
it is a postcard suggestion they prompted...
it had to have something original that you painted and paper and cloth.
the magazine said, YOU WILL NOT GET THIS BACK...
we may or may not use all the entries in later issues and your
piece might show up in an ad..
this is one of those life lessons...
not such a deep or horrible one...but wanda wishes she wouldn't have given it away...
my heart must not have been ready to let her go...
so I share her with you, and read her words...
THEY ARE MEANT FOR YOU!
IF we could all gather round and create in the presence of one another...
oh what gift!
i wish you were here
LOVE
