I am challenging myself to work on my art every day and create a minimum of 2 finished pieces each week. My intention is to explore ideas and techniques and push myself beyond my comfort zone. I will be working in a series with several different images. My interests at this time are drawing, line, texture and color. I will be posting exercises and challenges for myself and any others who wish to join in the Creativity Journey.
Whoopee! I've loved this montage/collage since first I saw it and have been hoping you will win every possible portrait prize there is....and you're getting close! Whoopee for a great job!! Jill in Pasadena
Thank you all for the wonderful comments and support! For one last hurrah, I have entered this painting in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC portrait competition. I must wait for October to see what happens there. After that, I will probably retire this one to the vault but it has been a fantastic ride!
Hi, Myrna: May I join the throngs of those who know you and admire all you do....even the ones you call failures...and add my congrats. You're truly a star.
