much. The model had a beautiful face, deep soulful eyes, brows that
arched into the center, a strong nose and a winning smile. He didn't
look anything like my painting, but he liked the work, so that's good.

my short time there. I worked for an hour and fifteen minutes.
Sometimes my determination to fire something off inspires me,
sometimes I end up with nothing, and a sinking feeling. I knew
I was rushing tonight. Too much to do for school and the rest of
life. I've been forgiving myself for being too busy all day -- so why not
continue? The break was energizing, the other artists' work
exciting. I learn something every time I spend time with them.
Have a take-a-deep-breath-and-smell-autumn day.
You did catch the soulfulness of his eyes and face... and as always, great use of color! No wonder he liked it!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laurel! You've expressed how you felt painting the model and did so with great skill and color.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you see what I was trying to do. Thanks so much. I'm glad your great blog is back.

Hi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteIt is a joyous experience being in
my class. There are some painters there I absolutely delight in seeing,
watching their work progress,
and talking to in the breaks.
Take care,
Barbara
