I love the animation of how you feel!
Oh but...Hehe! I love the animation of how you feel!<br />Oh but it is SO clear why! This is just so incredible! That beautiful vibrant color, the folds in her clothes, the hair... It is memorizing!<br />Actually, I think painting the back view of a person is brilliant - not just because it can be related to more than just on person, but because of the element of mystery. And so much can be said in body language alone.<br />Paul once brought a print of a painting - a women sitting on the edge of a bed, with her head down and her hair dangling. You can't see her face at all, and he brought it because it reminded him of me. Had here face have been visible, he wouldn't have brought it! :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-36677676391215845182013-03-12T18:58:43.712-07:002013-03-12T18:58:43.712-07:00wow! strong, beautifully done and the clip is pric...wow! strong, beautifully done and the clip is priceless.suzanneberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702748663139114422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-52957426848695818602013-03-12T16:21:51.968-07:002013-03-12T16:21:51.968-07:00Vert dramatic, Crystal!
