I love the girl in blue you started on the Sunday. I do like the loosness of it and I also like the idea of "many starts" with the same surface and model. I am interested to know - seeing as John had a wooden palette there was he working in acrylic or oils? And how about yourself? <br />As to the commissioned work, yes it is tighter, but as you say that is usually what the clients want to see and you got the likeness and the fond relationship between them spot on. I did a similar one for (and of) the parents of a young woman I know whose mum was dying with cancer. I worked from photographs (it's over a year ago now) and she was able to see it before she died and knew her husband had that fond memory of her. So art serves different purposes Bill at different times but it was quite sad to do.Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961203811028907861.post-33009161414292701882010-12-10T07:58:43.784-05:002010-12-10T07:58:43.784-05:00Whaaaaaat!?
