(5x7) The current challenge from Karin Jurick's Different Strokes from Different Folks--"current" only until 6 p.m. tonight, the deadline! Karin supplied a picture of a man on a chair, and this is the setting I chose for him (them).
I've been temped by that series of prompts, and even downloaded the source photo. But bum that I am, i didn't do it. I think it's brilliant to simply make two men, repetition and variation. How'd you deviate your septum? Owww!
Laura: I've left you a little "Stroke of the Brush" blog award; this is a mention of your blog as a favorite blog of mine to visit. If you want to participate and pass this along, make a blog post featuring 7 things about you and 7 blogs that you enjoy vistiting. Of course, no obligation. Mostly I'm just saying that I enjoy your work and your blog. Thanks! Steve at StevePenberthy.com

ReplyDeleteI love that you gave the guy a buddy and a more pleasant atmosphere in which to dwell. It's a lovely painting, and I wish I was fishing with them.
