He can look at the below pastel portrait painting (using my new supplies) and lovingly say:
"Why Mummy, this is the most beautiful painting of me I have ever seen. It is mag-ni-fi-cent. It even almost, kinda, in-a-way-looks-like-me except my face is not flat!"
Giggle, <sigh>.
It's good to try new things and new styles of painting, right? I must confess that although this isn't exactly a masterpiece (I would classify it as flop), I do quite like the painterly style (or maybe it was just that I liked putting lots of purple pastel in his hair).
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I've been up to,

PS: Haven't forgotten my wrecked Mr Chuckles painting, it's just it is hard to feel inspired to finish it when I know deep down that I've wrecked it...
PPS: What is with the two posts in one day?! I am on a pastel roll, baby! I can't even blame it on the fumes.
As long as you enjoy trying Kate. My quilts and sewing might improve subtly but it's the process that I like, and usually the end result. I think you do great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan! Yes, you are right. I really love looking at your quilts - to my eye they are perfect. I went to a quilting exhibit at the QLD Art Gallery and I thought of you! All the quilts there told such interesting stories through their fabric choices and stitching. Amazing!
