It's a great subject and I hope you post your next attempt. <br />The men on the news progam yesterday morning talked about the "lame men" who were at the grocery store getting last minute flowers and cards for Valentine's day. I had to laugh...guess where my honey was?

Can you tell...I think this is quite lovely, Laura. Can you tell me what 'contrapposto' means? I was looking at your painting and trying to find the delineations in value...darks, mediums, and lights? I think you have handled those very well. I too get thrown off by color when I hear anyone speak of a value study. I am reminded of value exercises in which values were changed by adding contrasting color to the original hue...Or was it the white the black in graphite exercises? Now I've confused myself again! Sigh...back to the textbooks.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-77284129591527125382010-02-14T20:03:09.344-05:002010-02-14T20:03:09.344-05:00I LOVE this little girl, and I think the colors in...I LOVE this little girl, and I think the colors in the dark segments are oozy and rich, Laura. Woooot! Love love love this. It has such an antique, ethereal quality to it. Keep doing whatever you are.<br /><br />As for relationships--who the hell understands 'em! I was in a bad marriage years ago, and lived alone for almost 25 years, as a single parent. Out of the blue, I met Joe as we both came out of a movie theatre. I never would have thought I'd be with someone else again. We "bonded," and we've lived together for years. He's 13 years older than me, and has 4 grown kids; I have one. We are in some ways totally different, but we enjoy many things together. It took a real leap of faith for me to give up my independence to be with someone else, but I find many of his wacky behaviors pretty endearing now. He'll seem on a different planet some days, but just when I think he's truly from Mars, he'll do something so phenomenally thoughtful-- I smile to realize how kind he is. Gotta' love him! Happy Valentine's Day, Laura.

I haven't been able to remember that the pigment has value right out of the tube.<br /><br />I remember once being mad at my husband for always being loud in the morning while I was still in bed. Then it struck me, what if I never heard that noise in the mornings again. That would only mean he was hurt or that he was dead. The noise hasn't bothered me since I changed my way of thinking ... this time.Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-17524862974418364562010-02-14T12:53:15.467-05:002010-02-14T12:53:15.467-05:00I like the little girl too.
