(actually, it comes from the <A HREF="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Tu_Bishvat/TO_Tu_Beliefs/Rabbinic/ManIsATree.htm" REL="nofollow">bible</A>).<BR/><BR/>A 24 hour drawing??? Hmm, not sure I was born with that amount of patience... ;-)</I>Navahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03594536242955214557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-64484098875415240332007-11-18T11:44:00.000-08:002007-11-18T11:44:00.000-08:00Wow!

Amazing work from all members! <BR/><BR/>On another note, I think Rita has found her niche. This is different, compelling work that will stand the test of time over hundreds of years. Amazing and wonderful stuff on her part!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589916820019735485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-22093170636162311622007-11-18T10:54:00.000-08:002007-11-18T10:54:00.000-08:00That is an interesting approach.

I made a statement that I would like to go there, park by the tree, and paint it at different times of the day. Very strange to wake up, open this, and find that Rita had used the idea of tree roots (which would be like the twisted tree in my dream)in her work.<BR/>Actually, for the last challenge, I did another portrait of the subject, broken into smaller sections, but it isn't a large size. I just have it in pencil.<BR/>When you gave the new challenge, I was trying to think of something I would want to do that large, and spend that much time on, but I had not thought of it as a portrait. So the examples gives this a little different twist.<BR/>I have a commission that I really need to finish this week, before I get to a challenge, unless that tree starts calling to me again!Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132398614175975739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3598489002518349548.post-11629021316429442182007-11-18T07:11:00.000-08:002007-11-18T07:11:00.000-08:00The Rita Hellyer?

Helyer?drawings are fasinating, I did enlarge the first one and spent some time looking at the images she has incorporated in them,the second one would not enlarge for me. Wow,It looks really complicated. I don't know if I even want to try that one. <BR/><BR/>Hilda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
