I like reading your perspectives ...Hello Brodie, <br /> I like reading your perspectives on the craft and Crystals work. I think every artist is or can be their own worst critic. Your wife's work is great, and her ability to capture emotion in paintings of your children is a gift. I tend to agree with her about self portraits, partly I think it is due to the fact that most self portraits are staged images. The best photos of people are those that are taken unaware. Then you have the ability to capture something beyond appearances. Keep posting!<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-60043124082699055102010-06-24T09:40:14.102-07:002010-06-24T09:40:14.102-07:00I really enjoyed getting to know Crystal a little ...I really enjoyed getting to know Crystal a little better from a different point of view. <br />Since you have some experience in art, maybe you should try drawing or painting a portrait of Crystal! I also hate doing self portraits - I don't even like having my photograph taken. Crystal is an incredibly talented and beautiful person - if only she realised!Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-29084588000522270912010-06-24T08:48:38.615-07:002010-06-24T08:48:38.615-07:00Thanks Brodie!

I love her personality and her quirkiness and I could see why that would be the painting you'd want! <br /><br />Crystals art is beautiful and should be cherised! I feel honored everytime she posts one of her pieces because she feels strong enough to share them on the web and that's not always easy! I love all of her art work and can see why awards have been won! I understand not painting on command, that does take the love and passion right out of it!<br /><br />Loved this post...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667521490706435608noreply@blogger.com
