Patricia, Thank you so much, compliments from a true redhead (your tinyhead) are heartwarming. I think that not using any ochre, sienna, umber, or black on my palette may have helped with the reds not clashing. Also hair, shirt, and skin shadowed areas are created with the addition of a mixed violet in different intensities. I was tempted many times to grab the sienna or black so ended up hiding all of them in a tackle box!
Michele, you have been one of my inspirations. Watching your growth on this forum has kept me going many times. Thank you, and I'll get the cards now. I've been printing out postcards on a heavy weight matte paper and will be taking them around to all the area galleries. It's time to generate some paying work!
Kim, I've watched you struggle too, and cheered for you (a certain cowboy on the bordello porch comes to mind)! Thank you, I appreciate it.
Jean
