ok here is my retaining wall project, not exactly my idea of a work of art, but certainly has been a challenge for this sweet little old lady. Some 70 stones down the road now the end is in sight, another 15 and then 25' of pavers and until Spring I can call this completed. Only challenge is to find something the @&$-',, rabbit won't eat. Sorry Renate, I meant "sweet little" rabbit ...... NOT!!!
Bold woman's portrait
Bold Ok, for today's portrait I went out of the box and decided to try a different look and approach. This is on watercolor paper, I applied a layer of paper collate over it (you can see that some of it started lifting - so got to use more medium to glue it next time) Anyway then I tried to leave part of that under collage showing, even in the face. Went back in and applied several more light lawyers of transparent and opaque paint and then put in the hair using my dagger bus. Gosh that brush makes hair so much easier While this might not the best example what are your thoughts to taking portraits this more dynamic direction? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

I hope you not have a backpain by now. I respect you are doing this kind of heavy work. I think you made it beautifully but I can't see it because the photo is not there:(
I just showed Abby to Wilbert. He was very surprised and said he found it very handsome! I love to look at her.
Have a nice sunday:) xxx
