oooh Kay, this is really pretty special. You did a lovely rendition, is it graphite?

Excellent!

thanks guys yes it is pencil..I need to dig out mike sibleys book and read again..It seems I keep having to read and reread and learn and relearn..what is up with that??

Hi... I absolutely love it and was hoping someone would choose this one. I love the detail in the flowers. Great job!

Thank you

Kay I think when those of us who continually switch from one subject matter and medium like we do it sort of bogs the mind with clutter.. having said that I am sitting here thinking how many times I have tried new things and never really mastered any of them.. I have a Artist friend in Fort Worth that never changes .. stays with one theme and one medium.. he's okay and sometimes Better than okay in what he has chosen to do.. Western Art....you know cowboys and the old west.. and only uses oil on canvas.. He loves what he does .. to me I'd get bored to tears.
So with our clutter of new art it's only natural we have to keep re introducing instruction.

you are so right carol, I have always said i shall prob never learn to 'master' (term loosely used) any thing, cause i like to change around too much..Like you I would get bored to tears if i couldn't swap around. Hubby is always saying 'why dont you stick with one thing' well, he is the only 'one thing' in my life..everything else ,MUST change around me and often, including furniture

Guess that describes us the best .. Creative.. !! ,,,I think too ,,we keep doing that because there is so much beauty out there and so many ways to capture it..
I believe when I was a child I was overstimulated with the world around me.. We moved around a lot.. I went to 13 different schools before I graduated..a lot to absorb.. nothing stayed the same..

Well you're one up on me.. at least you still have the Hubby.. ( not my swap around ,,,,,it was his..) That was the only creative thing he ever did.. Ha ! He could have been a great (Con) Artist.... Now That's Funny !!!!!!!!!!!
