WDE 5/8 Connie, look what I did to your tree (+MI?)
Well, what can I say, it looked like a good idea at the time 
Oil pastels on A4 paper.

Florence the light colors on the tree are perfect! I'm thinking a crop on this one.....

And now look what I did to your COW!
You are both very kind, lol
I thought I would do another to make it better, but it got even worse
Connie, I'm ashamed, you do such beautiful cows, and here's what I did to your photo

No bashing yourself here - both of these are lovely. The light on that tree is gorgeous (and I always find it hard to capture) and your cow is divine!!!!!

The tree's curve nicely, the cow looks like a cow even it's sharp back and tail (partly going up), after playing in the mud. Are you going to add some more right?

They both look fine! Even if they are not what you envisioned, the point is to have fun doing them, right?

Re: WDE 5/8 Connie, look what I did to your tree (+MI?)
Thank you Cori, Dewi, Connie and Mike
Dewi, do you mean will I continue working on these (I don't think so) or will I make more paintings for this WDE (I don't think so either, but who knows)?
Mike, yes, I had fun making these and I don't regret doing it at all, and you're right it's the main thing

They look fine to me Florence. Even when we aren't happy with what we have created there is usually something learned form them.

Re: WDE 5/8 Connie, look what I did to your tree (+MI?)
Thank you Sherry and Valri
Well what do you know, I started another cow, but this one is a long-term project. It will probably end up with a disaster but it should be fun. Here's what it looks like at the moment:
I worked on it for probably half an hour, but I need to let it dry overnight. I'm on holiday next week, so I'll have time to work on it.

Florence, cow #1 is wonderful. Very fresh! I can't wait to see what cow #2 looks like!

Re: WDE 5/8 Connie, look what I did to your tree (+MI?)
I agree. I think it's also a novelty that someone makes a sculpture for the WDE. At least not in my time. Can't wait to see the finish! |

I really like the sweep of your tree trunk.. it looks so strong and forceful.. but that cow.. (first one).. I gotta say.. it makes me want to duck so as not to be swished by her tail.. very realistic "ending"!
