The most recent compulsion is to paint some portraits, although I have not a clue how to start... I am currently doing some projects in Peggi Habet's book, and after that I may copy some of your paintings for exercise too -- master copy always helps ;-) I will not share my meager efforts though, because they will not come even remotely close to what the beautiful originals look like... (Really, how do you do those soulful eyes? How?!...)<br /><br />I really love how the light filters through the petals in this one, and the varied warm and cool in the reds. You have a way with layering that does not make it look tired somehow. I really want to sit beside you and see you paint some day...Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-68574172380759835122012-08-03T16:13:38.440-07:002012-08-03T16:13:38.440-07:00Hello Crystal:) You always know how to give someth...Hello Crystal:) You always know how to give something a special touch!
