I call this "What cha readin." It is another 8 x 8 panel from the karin Jurick workshop I just attended. While out taking my pictures and trying to act casual ;), I saw this lady checking to see if there were real words in the book on this bronze statue. I couldn't believe my good fortune when she stayed put until I got the shot! During the workshop Karin discussed placement and colors. I was a little worried about cutting off the lady's feet, but I think it works. Karin is so very generous with her knowledge and suggestions. If asked...she offers her opinion...and then praises your work.
I am anxious to get back to my easel and paint but first I have another workshop to attend. Dreama Tolle Perry is teaching in Lexington Kentucky and I am so very excited to learn more! I have the good fortune to go on a road trip with 3 artist friends...So much to learn...so little time!
Love this one- "what cha reading?"....has a bit of whimsey and lucky you to get such a great composition. And now off to Dreama's- did you win the lottery of fun? Love Dreama! I met Kelley Mac at a Dreama workshop. Give her a big hug from me!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you told me! I certainly will give Dreama a hug from you! Your class with Kelley must have been wonderful! and YES I DID win the lottery of fun. When I get back I expect to be painting up a storm! I will give a full report!
ReplyDeleteI recognize this painting and loved it then and love it now!! You are one lucky girl to go to Dreama's workshop. Wish I was with you, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you were going too Linda! I will wear my sweatshirt! I do feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world. so many good things happening to me. As I said to Kathy...a full report when I get back...and pictures...lots of pictures!!! Taken covertly of course! hahaha
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful painting here. I've always liked how KJ crops off the heads or the feet. She's fearless and I think you are too.
