awesome painting becca. great composition and color. i like it cause it is different, my favorite part being the small detail of the bangs, hope that doesn't change.

Keith, thank you, I intend to now leave it as it is.

Re: What's On Your Easel?....May 2012
Becca, wonderful light in this painting!
Iam, nice! How many whiskeys did it take to have the bottle look like that?  I'm curious whether both pictures are from the same painting, or whether you painted the same subject twice?
Currently working on this one. This is still the under-painting, I only gave the sky a second layer (and one star) .

Becca,
Refined expressionism. Love the painterly strokes on the portrait.
Keith,
At least you can remember your last one-night-stand. Cool painting.
Edith,
Lovely texture.
Dave

Re: What's On Your Easel?....May 2012
Hi all, nice to see what you are working on  . I just picked up a brush today after six years of no painting. I hung some unfinished painting on my walls around christmas to see if that´d motivate my spirit again - today I couldn't stand two of them anymore and started working on them.
Glad to be back in the WC community.
These are the victims of the day - the left one was made from a picture I no longer have and the right one a play with colors.......

Re: What's On Your Easel?....May 2012
Mmm! Really nice start to the WOYE!
 I've liked this painting ever since you started, Becca! I'm not sure it could stand another tweak, because it's monumentally perfecto!
Keith, I hope you don't mind if my husband has a look at your painting. He's writing a paper about inertia and gravity and the Boson something. I don't understand physics, but your painting is fun!
Edith, he's an astronomer, too. This is a lovely start! Is that a star chart she's studying?
Ava, if this is the way your creative mind plays, you should do much more of it.
