Fridays Painting

LOL OK I can hear you all laughing but I'm going to post it anyway - LOL gotta take the good with the bad.

This is my first attempt at a portrait. Everyones looked totally different which was amazing - some looked alien, others looked human (which was the idea) and mine looks like a cartoon character - LOL remember Fat Albert??

The teacher made it someone we did not know so we didn't have an idea of how she should look - he said if we tried to do Marilyn Monroe we'd be disappointed but with a stranger's face you concentrate on the shapes of the face not the person - All I know is mine did NOT look like his when class finished. :)

Sue, you LOL, but, actually it's really good, it has an abstract art feel to it. As usual, I like your color choices. I've seen some by the 'Masters' that, I don't like as well.

I really think you would do well with the smudge painting, give it a try....if, you like the idea, that is.

Well done Sue (again)...can't wait to see pastels! I'm running out of compliments, and now I find myself thinking - hmmm do I like this one or maybe that one. I'm still thinking about the boats that you did last week - it's hard to find a favorite. Elaine

LOL Elaine it's water golf - go grab a snorkel and go get that ball!! Dropped Jack off at the vets an hour ago - poor baby had to be muzzled and they gave ME that job - lol what a fiasco as I've NEVER put a muzzle on him before - Yes I understand the need for it but geez it was stressful enough without me fumbling about trying to tighten straps. Anyway they sedated him while I was there so he was calm enough at being left so now I'm waiting for them to call and let me know what the problem with his paw is. Will keep you posted Sue :)

Thanks Urlee and Joy.
I do love the smudge painting effect. Hubby has just started a weeks holiday so gonna take some time out just for us but once he's back at work I intend to have a real good look at the site posted and all your tips.

Judy hope photobucket is working again soon.
