Thanks Allan, Carol and Kim. I would have
loved you in the peanut gallery. Although I got some really good advice centered around "stop now, don't do any more". Carol: titanium white, yellow ochre pale, terra rosa, permanent alizarin, permanent rose. burnt sienna, permanent sap green, cerulean and cobalt blue for the flesh, naples yellow and raw umber in the hair. And Kimberly (
) is responsible for the wonderful colours in the darks. Yay Kim.
Linda: there is not an icon of a smilie rolling around the floor bumping into walls laughing for you. Maybe one day with the nice fees. This is not a country with a tradition of portraiture, or even much in the way of traditional realist art. It may be a bit of a tough haul. However, I did get three commissions in the days following the show. Yep. A cottage and two dogs. *Sigh*
