It was a great trip down memory lane for me! I can really see that I am, indeed, making progress! I have learned so very much! And yes, I am critical. But, in some instances, that helps me on the next piece.<br />Thanks again for reading, caring and commenting!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489397412059064976.post-24637011021412046932015-04-11T09:10:30.155-07:002015-04-11T09:10:30.155-07:00Hi Dreaming!

You have come so far in twenty-nine pieces that you have posted. <br /><br />I agree that Faith's nose was a little short; but, it was a remarkable likeness none-the-less. And Sampson's was amazing. I think you are overly harsh with yourself for saying the background was hideous! It didn't measure up to your artist's vision, but it does work as a foil so Sampson's white fur doesn't get lost in a white background. Knowing you, you'll be experimenting in other sketches to work out how to do what you want to do in new situations. I'm sure that your friends were grateful for such beautiful, unique, and personal cards! <br /><br />I really like your pumpkins! The way you've captured the light on them makes them look three dimensional; I feel like I can touch their rounded surfaces with my fingers. I like the perspective, which is different from many straight on still lifes. Not quite a bird's eye view, but maybe a spider's view from its web higher up on a nearby plant. <br /><br />You are truly developing into a skilled artist, Dreaming! Happy creating!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.com
