Garth,
Glad you like it. " What could be more paintable?" you ask. Having her right in front me and stopping the Earth and clouds from moving while I paint.
I do love my camera. It has saved me. But I find that I am obsessed with getting the clearest shot I can. I zoom it in on my computer and if I can't see myself or part of the room in their eyes, it isn't sharp enough for me. In this particular photo I can see my dining room windows as the highlights in her eyes.
It is a great camera.
Mike,
Thank you for saying you think I did a good job. I am trying, very hard to apply what I am learning. You are the second person to bring to my attention the darkness in the shadow side. I like seeing more of what is going on too. Actually I need to see what is going on because I don't have the experience that comes from painting from life that I would like to have so that in cases like this I could paint what I know instead of what I see.
Do you think it is a poor reference if it looks better after you manipulate it?
Janel
