It Worked!
Well, I learned something new today, how to post an image, but still not how to size it correctly! Sorry, she really JUMPS out at you.
As I mentioned in my introductory post, I am relatively new to portraiture, at 48, but it has LONG been my desire to pursue an education in portrait painting. Two adult sons and a FEW years have passed since I drew anything, worth . . . anything! This past year have taken some drawing classes, studying books, and a little photography, am now in a life drawing class. I try to squeeze in as many hours drawing as I can in a week, what with working full time as an accountant.
This summer was real good because I discovered this website! Yes, I have been reading all of the threads here all summer and have learned so much that it really is beginning to show in my pieces. So thank you all, for the time you take to critique pieces and share your knowledge. Cynthia, I know I mentioned it in my introduction, but it bears repeating here. SOG is an incredible place for artists to meet, it's the perfect 21st century art salon!!
"Molly" is the daughter of my office manager. I have three commissions from this, so am eager to start the next one and post here, hoping you will critique away - looking forward to interracting with all of you in the ensuing weeks.
Thanks,
Pat Joyce (Meyers)
