Graduation Gift

Thanks Linda!


I'll try one with those colors and see how it works out.
It won't be my first oil. I just haven't yet done any that are equal to my pastels (in my opinion.)

But I get requests for oils frequently, so I do need to improve with this medium.

I'm learning a lot from this forum and glad I finally decided to join it.

Linda, did I already say how fantastic this is? If I did, I'll just repeat myself.

Lucky Chris, getting to view this in person.

awesome!

Linda, I forgot to ask - are you shooting your own work? Or, do you send it out for 4 x 5's? It always looks good, mine is an injustice to myself.

Where is the head bang smilie?

Linda, been asleep lately and never noticed this one posted, but had seen it on your site. The look on her face and texture is beautiful. This is one definitely one of my top ten favorites posted here. (my drawings take up the top nine) Just kidding ofcourse.

Here is my high-tech, glamorous solution to the problem of photographing paintings with my digital camera: on a table easel in the bathtub under a skylight. Certain times of the day are better than others, but I think I usually get color results remarkably close to the painting.

I don't actually paint in the bathroom. I hope I'm not confusing people with this photo!

Is the bathtub empty or full?

[Michele Rushworth]

You don't paint IN the bathtub? What better way to get your feet wet when starting a new painting?

[Elizabeth Schott]

See pure genius!

How about the towel bar - does it cast a shadow? JUST KIDDING
