Dan caught it as did Marias. I hate that I don't have an editor and occasionally screw up. So I corrected my error and wrote a one paragraph story about the bear that was barely there. I hope Dan reads it. But just in case, I'll add it to his site when I offer him the job of proof reader.<br /><br />Thanks. I'm just taking a break from drawing two of the day as I look for the forth head shot to use in the composition. The girl really has some looks. I posted my the top drawing on her FB page. Maybe I'll get some feedback on what kind of painting she would like in her place. Right now, the designer in me figured a quad portrait might be striking and would definitely be of value past college.<br /><br />Boy. Charcoal and pastels are very dirty. I'm looking at my nails; and they look like hell. I got a manicure last week (in honor of going out with friends who don't play in the dirt), and it's gone with the wind. No regrets.

There is historic blight all around us we'd rather we didn't see and wasn't there, yet we manage to keep our sanity laughing while dancing the Samba (or my preference, Texas line dancing) and are entertained when we attend the theater. We find ways to balance out good and evil. Your play of the two against each other was brilliant. You're a very sensitive photographer. <br /><br />There's a wonderful photograph to be taken here if you ever pass this way. If you set up your tripod on just the right spot on Lahser Road, you can shoot the front door of the Happy Acres Nursing Home through the headstones and trees of an old cemetery. I used to drive by that way all the time and the macabre scene always made me smile--my black humor I guess? Who would build a nursing home next to a cemetary but an idiot. But life is a comedic drama, a play of funny against the horrific.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-44391100934202030622012-08-31T08:15:50.808-04:002012-08-31T08:15:50.808-04:00I am one of the three people who haven't a clu...I am one of the three people who haven't a clue who any contemporary artists are.

I love the portrait of Ellis standing - no rank beginner you! I think this may be fairly close to the kind of work that I'd like to do. I'm a big fan of Alice Neel and this is similar in how she would utilize the figure (though very different in style of course). <br />Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.com
